Phonological Awareness is the ability to hear, say, and manipulate the sounds in language. Phonological Awareness: Instructional and Assessment GuidelinesMost of my research outlines the skills of phonological awareness as: rhyming songs, sentence segmentation, syllable segmentation and blending, onset-rime blending and segmentation, and blending and segmenting individual phonemes. The skills are listed in order of easy to more difficult.
This video I found on YouTube may help you make more sense of phonological awareness.
Here are some printable activities.
If you want to practice rhyming, try reading nursery rhymes and other books with rhyme.
Try this fun online reading game to practice phonological awareness with a child:

I like the blending bowl game - I am going to try it with my son later today. Have given you a retweet so that others can share this.

great idea, Michelle, I think that for most people, the idea of 'phonological awareness' is more scary than it needs to be. If we teach parents fun ways of playing with individual sounds in words, they'll realize that it's easier than they think to help build this foundation!
Please consider sharing this video on 'we teach'; I bet others may find it useful!
Hi Michelle, visiting from weteach, thanks for sharing. I am now following and looking forward to your upcoming posts :)
