Coming Up: Get Ready for Session 7<br />

“The Role of Phonemic Awareness in Learning <strong>to</strong> Read” presents a<br />

comprehensive definition of phonemic awareness, distinguishing it<br />

from phonological awareness and phonics. Authors Linnea Ehri and<br />

Simone Nunes review a variety of studies that report strong relationships<br />

between phonemic awareness and learning <strong>to</strong> read, highlighting<br />

instructional approaches that have proven successful. They also review<br />

the U.S. National <strong>Reading</strong> Panel’s meta-analysis of phonemic awareness<br />

studies.<br />

Here are some things <strong>to</strong> think about while you’re reading this<br />

chapter before our next meeting:<br />

• <strong>What</strong> are the differences between phonological awareness,<br />

phonemic awareness, and phonics?<br />

• According <strong>to</strong> the studies presented in this chapter, what is the<br />

relationship between phonemic awareness and learning <strong>to</strong> read?<br />

• How can and should this research be applied <strong>to</strong> classroom<br />

practice?<br />
