How much do we need to advocate for teacher professional development and Pre-service training in the area of phonemic awareness? When we ask teachers and most new graduates cannot define nor teach it.
-
Why is phonemic awareness tied up with phonics when it is a totally different construct? Does combining the two indicate that they are the same construct?
-
When new graduate teachers cannot define phonemic awareness as different than phonics, does it mean that their professors disregard the difference and the importance of phonemic awareness?
-
I can’t find a ranking of phonemic awareness as a construct alone. If it is rolled up into phonics, then there must be a ranking or effect size as a single construct. Would you kindly point me to a resource?
