Word Sounds / Phonemes 1.6

Word Sounds / Phonemes by Teach Speech Apps focuses on developing the fundamental skills required to comprehend the correlation between written and spoken language through various activities like counting, blending, and segmenting phonemes - the smallest units of sounds that form a word. This application is designed to enhance phonemic awareness, which is the ability to perceive individual phonemes.

Teaching phonemic awareness to young learners is a crucial aspect of reading acquisition and a significant indicator of reading proficiency. Understanding that words are constructed from speech sounds aids children in spelling and decoding unfamiliar words.

The English language comprises 26 letters in its alphabet, with many experts suggesting the presence of 44 distinct letter sounds. If our alphabet contained 44 letters, reading would be considerably more straightforward! Each letter would represent a unique sound. However, due to having 44 sounds but only 26 letters, several letters need to represent multiple sounds.

This interactive app facilitates the learning of phonemes in an enjoyable and interactive manner. The app offers four activities:

• Segmenting words
• Blending words
• Determining the number of sounds through drag and drop
• Identifying the sound count in correlation with the presented number of letters and syllables

Teach Speech Apps advocates for collaborative learning experiences where adults engage alongside learners.
