Speech therapy for your preschooler: phonemic awareness

Description

Momma, you can help your child develop a better reading brain with these speech therapy activities!

If you homeschool your child, you want to know the evidence based way to teach your child to read. If your child is starting school soon you want to be sure the foundation for reading has been properly laid. You might have received feedback from pre-school or primary school that your child struggles with phonemic awareness, and you want to know how to help him.

'The doors of the world are opened to people who can read,' said that famous neurosurgeon Ben Carson. Whatever your reason for wanting to help your child, you will never be sorry you did.

Phonemic awareness is critical for learning to read any alphabetic writing system. In this course you will learn what phonemic awareness means and how you can develop the necessary skills in your child.

Research shows that the best kind of early intervention involves the parents. Parent-implemented intervention is effective because the parent plays a key role in the child's life, and also because intervention becomes an ongoing process. In this course you will be trained to do a daily short activity that will improve your child's phonemic awareness.

Please remember many children still require ongoing speech therapy. While this course includes exercises your speech therapist probably would have prescribed for developing phonemic awareness, parents still need guidance from the speech-language pathologist as the child’s skills change and develop.
