Frequently asked questions
What is phonological awareness?
It is the ability to notice and play with sound parts in spoken language, such as rhymes, syllables, and first sounds.
Is this the same as phonics?
No. Phonological awareness is about spoken sounds. Phonics connects sounds to letters.
How long should we play?
A few minutes is enough for young children. Stop while your child is still engaged.
