Dr. Michael Heggerty’s Phonemic Awareness curriculum
Each curriculum is intended to be completed with a whole class group. These lessons should only take between 12 and 15 minutes a day. Pacing is very important. It should be quickly paced and free of interruptions. Begin your day with Phonemic Awareness as it is a fun-filled lesson time with students’ experiencing feelings of success and, therefore, enjoyable for all of the students.
- The two best predictors of early reading success are alphabet recognition and phonemic awareness. (Adams, 1990)
- Phonemic awareness is central in learning to read and spell. (Ehri, 1984)
- The probability of remaining a poor reader at the end of fourth grade, given a child was a poor reader at the end of first grade, was .88....... the probability of remaining an average reader in fourth grade, given an average reading ability in first grade, was .87. (Juel, 1988)
- The lack of phonemic awareness is the most powerful determinant of the likelihood of failure to read. (Adams, 1990)
- Phonemic awareness is the most important core and causal factor in separating normal and disabled readers. (Adams, 1990)
- Phonemic awareness has been shown to be a very powerful predictor of later reading achievement....
