The Heggerty Phonemic Awareness Pre-K lessons are designed to supplement your existing literacy curriculum and easily integrate into half-day or full-day preschool programs. When lessons are taught daily with explicit teacher modeling and scaffolded support, teachers see improvement in students’ reading, spelling, and writing as the students learn to hear the sounds in words.

The curriculum teaches eight phonemic awareness skills: rhyme, onset fluency, phoneme isolation, blending, segmenting, adding, deleting, and substituting. Additionally, letter names, sound recognition, and language awareness via nursery rhymes are taught.
