A phonemic awareness program for 4 and 5 year olds targeting CVC blending.
One of the most significant pre-requisites for reading, spelling and writing is phonemic awareness. Phonemic awareness is strongly associated with early literacy achievement. In Preparing for reading for 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.
The 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.
Phonemic Awareness Readiness for Reading
The 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.
- First students must learn to blend at an onset and rime level. E.g. “Listen carefully and put these sounds together and guess this word:” “f” (one second pause) “ig”?”
- Students then learn to blend at the phonemic or individual sound level: E.g. “Listen carefully and put these sounds together and guess this word; “m” (one second pause) “a” (one second pause) “t”? Answer: “mat”.
Features:
- Instruction manual (24 pages)
- 5 different blending activities with instructions
- 125+ colour cards, 3 x game boards
This publication is mentioned within the ‘Whole School Literacy Strategy’ booklet on pages 6 and 10.

The Pathway of Pre-Literacy into Early Literacy
Schools will have literacy results maximized over the long-term when they systematically plan how students progress from pre-literacy (or emergent literacy skills) into their early literacy skills. The two primary areas that will facilitate a smooth transition into early reading and spelling are: Phonemic awareness (and specifically blending for early reading and segmentation for early […]
