Phonemic awareness is strongly associated with early literacy achievement. In \u003cem\u003ePreparing for Reading \u003c\/em\u003efor 4 and 5 year olds, blending is targeted as blending represents an immediate precursor to decoding ability. This resource contains coloured card sets recommended for explicit 5 minute instruction sessions and provide clear guidelines on how to effectively teach blending. These instructions can form the basis of assistant and parent education.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe PLD developmental 5 step phonological awareness process has been designed by Speech Pathologists for use in schools. When used in conjunction with PLD’s pre-literacy screening, this program forms a significant component in a school’s preventative early intervention strategy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePhonemic Awareness Readiness for Reading\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe phonemic awareness pre-requisite skill involved in reading simple regular CVC [consonant-vowel-consonant] words such as ‘fig’, ‘tin’ and ‘mat’ is the skill of blending.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFirst students must learn to blend at an onset and rime level.
