For students to be able to read and comprehend, they must first develop phonological awareness, the ability to recognize and manipulate the segments of sound in words. To develop this ability, students must be able to identify the following: individual sounds (phonemes) in words; print letters of the alphabet; and corresponding sounds for each letter. This document provides a summary of Recommendation 2 from the REL Southeast guide "A Kindergarten Teacher's Guide to Supporting Family Involvement in Foundational Reading Skills" (ED602032), a companion to the WWC practice guide "Foundational Skills to Support Reading for Understanding in Kindergarten through 3rd Grade" (ED566956). The companion guide on which this summary document is based assists teachers in informing and supporting families to help children develop phonological awareness and letter-sound relations.
