Phonemic Awareness Resources for K-2

Parents and teachers wants reliable games for students to practice reinforcing skills they are learning in the classroom. For my Kindergarten class, I want them to have daily, independent practice.   Phonemic awareness skills are strong indicators of how well children develop reading skills.  The Internet has over a million "educational" gaming sites, but only some live up to the expectations of being rigorous and relevant.  At Professor Garfield, students have six choices for reinforcing phonemic awareness skills such as rhyming and phoneme manipulation. Each game reteaches the skill using examples and non-examples and offers immediate feedback. 

Podcast: Words Are Like Puzzles

I have created a podcast series called Practice Play. You can find my first episode (from a previous class) here. My second episode is called "Words Are Like Puzzles," and it focuses on breaking words into syllables and deleting parts of words. It is designed for Kindergarten students to reinforce basic phonemic awareness skills.
