Teach phonemic awareness listening skills visually using hearing, seeing, and movement to children with dyslexia or those who are struggling to learn to read and write. Students color shapes to match sounds in words. Color one shape for each sound that changes between words. Each lesson has 10 words connected with one sound change. Listen and blend. Listen and color. Listen and spell. Read the words.
20 Minute Phonemic Training is teaching phonemic awareness as a visual listening skill linking hearing, seeing, and movement.
An awareness of mouth movement when speaking and listening to sounds in words improves phonemic awareness.
Students are engaged with color and shapes to match sounds in words.
Hand movement to make color changes paired with listening to sound changes keeps students focused.
An awareness of Individual sounds in words becomes concrete.
Coloring shapes makes the connection between letters and sounds visible.
Listening and sequencing skills improve.
Thinking about how the mouth moves and moving the hands with the order of sounds in words and watching shapes change colors as the sounds change from one word to the next, increases awareness of sound order in words.
Each lesson has 10 real words paced at a rate a child can follow and maintain attention.
When practicing a few sounds, letters and phonic rules in ten words, all senses are engaged in repetitive practice with real words.
Listen and blend sounds.
Many children can 'sound out' each letter in a word but cannot put those sounds together to form a word. Learning sounds with phonemic training develops ability to 'glue' the sounds together and make words.
Listen and color.
Using color with sounds makes sounds visible and real.
Listen and spell.
When they can say each sound in a word as they write, spelling becomes easier, and accuracy increases.
Read fluently. Read faster. Spell Words Correctly.
Within one to two semesters the students gain one to three years of growth in reading fluency and spelling skill when lessons are given two to three times a week.
