95 Phonological Awareness Screener for Intervention™
Pinpoint specific skill deficits on the Phonological Awareness Continuum and facilitate student groupings for focused intervention
Phonological awareness is essential for reading because written words correspond to spoken words. Readers must have awareness of the speech sounds that letters and letter combinations represent in order to move from a printed word to a spoken word (reading), or a spoken word to a written word (spelling).
95 Phonological Awareness Continuum
Our Advanced Phonological Awareness Continuum provides a suggested sequence for developing phonological awareness skills that are highly predictive for future reading success.
When students don’t master phonological awareness, it can affect their progress in the other components of reading. Early intervention is essential to help struggling readers develop the skills to read successfully.

Why is teaching phonological awareness so important?
Teaching phonological awareness is critical:
Phonological awareness is the necessary foundation upon which phonics is built.
Lack of success in phonological awareness affects future progress in reading.
To develop strong word reading skills, an adequate level of phonemic awareness must be reached.
Lack of phonological awareness causes struggling readers in higher grades to lack accuracy and fluency in decoding and spelling words.
Tips for explicitly teaching phonological awareness activities and lessons
Too often modeling is not complete enough with instruction leaping from an “I Do” to a “You Do.” Without a “We Do,” during which students can attempt portions of the task together with the teacher, at-risk students will continue to struggle.
