Importance of phonological activities on learners

Reading ability gets improved by a different component.

Phonological activity and phonemic activity play a significant role in developing the reading skills of a kindergartner.

Children get introduced to the sound of the word they are learning.

Children must hear the sound of the word to spell it correctly.

Research-based Classroom strategies aim to strengthen literacy skills in phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and writing.

What are phonological activities?

The term phonological awareness implies the ability to hear, recognize and play with the words used in speaking a language.

Phonological awareness can be called a group of skills that helps children to identify the syllables and to count the number of syllables in a word.

Students also learn to break sentences into multiple words through phonological awareness.

What is phonemic awareness?

Students learn a lot of things by playing with the sounds in words.

This skill is called phonemic awareness.

Children can differentiate words through individual sounds.

Children can also learn to swap the sequence of sounds from the beginning, ending, or middle to make a new word from the old one.

Strong phonemic awareness is the contributing factor for making reading skills successful.

Children often have dyslexia due to not improving phonemic skills.

This article has mentioned some oral skills children can follow to improve reading power.

1. Making rhymes

Parents can ask students to think about an animal that rhymes with big.  

Students can answer pig.

In this way, students get introduced to many words that rhyme with a pig.

2. Riding and learning

Parents can take their children on a car ride.  

Parents can ask questions by seeing anything outside the window.

Suppose they can ask children what rhymes with trees.

Students can also ask this type of question, like what rhymes with a tiger.

This playful way of identifying words through different sounds will improve reading a lot.

3. Make a family of words

Parents can instantly give the word to the child and tell him to rhyme it with another group of words.

Suppose the child is given a name called cat.

Then she may think to rhyme with a bat,  rat, and so many words. 

4. Singing songs 

Singing songs and audio storybooks will help children to identify words correctly.  

They can hear the words, and it makes a substantial impact on their brain.

A strong connection with words is built up, which will help students develop a great understanding of the meaning.

Students can learn to spell the words correctly by listening to songs and storybooks.  

Children also get to use the words in writing later in life. 

We hope this article will help parents and teachers understand the importance of the phonological activity to help children.

A successful reader can read out accurately and effortlessly and can bring the context of the content to life by balancing the feelings in a proper way.
