2022 PaTTAN Literacy Symposium
Keynote: What do Phonemes Have to Do With It?
Session Dates
Tuesday June 14, 2022 8:30 AM - 9:45 AM - Webinar
Closed
Current debates about the role of phoneme awareness instruction are, unfortunately, creating confusion where there needs to be clarity. We will revisit these questions: Why is phoneme awareness challenging? How is phoneme awareness distinct from, but related to, both word recognition and spelling? How can we select appropriate activities for students whose PA is underdeveloped? What do those activities look like?
