The phonological awareness skills

1. Syllabification and rhyming as discussed above are the first skills
2. Blending sounds into words such as “f--i---sh” is “fish”
3. Isolating the beginning or ending sounds in a word i.e. “fish” starts with “f” “boat” ends with “t”
4. Segmenting words into sounds i.e. “what sounds are in the word ‘dish’-d—i—sh”
5. Deleting the beginning or ending sound and telling what word remains i.e. “say ‘beat’ now say it again without the ‘b’---eat
