Phonemic Awareness
•
Show flashcards and ask:
What sound do you hear at the beginning of the words father/family/frog?
(Elicit: /f/)
Do you have the same sound /f/ in your language?
What sound do you hear at the beginning of the words baby/boy/book? (Elicit:
/b/)
Do you have the same sound /b/ in your language?
What sound do you hear at the beginning of the words sister/swim/six? (Elicit:
/s/)
Do you have the same sound /s/ in your language?
NOTE
Some pupils may confuse the /f/ and /p/ sounds in English. Have the pupils watch
your mouth as you make each sound. Show how you use your teeth and bottom
lip to make the /f/ sound. Show how you use both your lips so make the /p/
sound, and how it is one short sound, unlike /f/ which you can hold continuously.
