Kindergarten students seem to be able to split words into onsets and rimes much more easily than they can manipulate the individual phonemes (sounds) within words. Phonological awareness does not seem to develop in a particular developmental sequence, but some elements do appear to be more difficult than others to master. Intra-syllables are the sound units we often refer to as onset and rime. Intra-syllable awareness includes the ability to both segment and blend the syllables in words. Rhyming is part of intra-syllable awareness. Phonemic awareness is a sub-strand of phonological awareness. There are three strands of phonological awareness: syllable awareness, intra-syllable awareness, and phonemic awareness. Phonological awareness is the larger umbrella term covering ALL units of sound (not just phonemes). Because phonological awareness is all about the ability to recognise, combine and manipulate phonemes, the terms phonemic awareness and phonological awareness are often confused. There are 44 phonemes in the English language. The smallest sound unit in speech is called a phoneme. Phonological awareness is an awareness of what sounds are and how they work together to make words. Is rhyming phonological or phonemic awareness? The simplicity of linking just three words, spoken at any moment, can evoke a multitude of emotions.Before we dive into the rhyming activities, it is important to understand what rhyming is. Words are profoundly powerful, especially when chosen carefully.
