Phonemic Awareness
Materials: Picture cards, phonemic awareness worksheet
• Say the word nap and emphasize the /n/ sound: /nnn/ /ap/. Have students listen for the
/n/ sound at the beginning of the word as you repeat it. Then have them say the word.
• Tell students you are going to say some words. Some of the words begin with /n/ and
other words do not. Tell them they should stamp their feet whenever they hear the /n/
sound at the beginning of a word. Say the following words one at a time, allowing time
for student response: no, nice, mother, cat, not, book, new, never, pig, nose.
• Say the word pan and ask students what sound they hear at the end. Tell them that they
can sometimes hear the /n/ sound at the end of words. Say the following words one at
a time, and have students raise their hand whenever they hear /n/ at the end of a word:
fan, car, pin, line, bat, said, man, rain, drip, bean, bun.
• Mix up the picture cards and place them in a pocket chart or along the chalkboard
ledge. Name each picture with students: barn, cane, hen, sun, nest, nose, nut, needle. Have
students help you group the pictures according to those that start with /n/ and those that
end with /n/.
• Give students the phonemic awareness worksheet for extra practice.
