DESCRIPTION
Phonological awareness, the insight that our spoken language can be broken up into individual parts, is one of the strongest indicators of future reading success. Viewers will learn how to use explicit play-based strategies and songs from the online BUILDING BLOCKS program in everyday situations to encourage children's understanding of rhyme, syllable, and sound awareness and build strong early literacy skills.TRANSCRIPT
