Kindergarten Readiness Tip: Phonological Awareness

What is phonological awareness? According to education.com, "Phonological awareness involves knowing that words are composed of sound units and that sound units can be combined to form words."

Sound games and activities help to build phonological awareness.  For example, sing nonsense words to a familiar song like "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star."  Change the beginning sound to another consonant like a "p". (Pinkle pinkle pittle par.)  Try other consonants at the beginning.
