Phonemic Awareness: With or Without Letters?

Course description

Professional development hours: 1
Explore current research on phonemic awareness instruction and the debate surrounding auditory-only vs. print-integrated practice. While phonemic awareness is foundational to reading, this webinar examines why connecting speech sounds directly to graphemes (letters) accelerates orthographic mapping, reinforces word recognition, optimizes instructional time, and strengthens overall reading and spelling outcomes. While a recording will be provided afterward, we encourage you to join live to participate in the conversation and Q&A.
