After learning the letters of the alphabet and their initial sounds, emerging readers begin building words in order to read them. By recognizing initial, medial, and final sounds, learners are able to substitute phonemes into old words to make new ones. Use this collection of fun, hands-on resources to help learners build phonemic awareness, spelling skills, and ultimately reading comprehension.
