Phonemic Awareness is a tricky critter. Like Comprehension, it does not have an easy assessment tool. To look at a student's phonemic awareness, you can see if they can segment words, put them back together, and rhyme. However, to teach phonemic awareness, I would use some direct instruction and lots of games.
Rhyming games, augmenting sounds in words (beginning, middle, or ending sounds), and other such games are enjoyable and the students don't have to worry about making mistakes - just becoming familiar with how the language works and how words are made up of different sounds.
Really, this bun fan key won!
