It is an essential skill for developing reading and writing proficiency, as it helps children understand the relationship between sounds and letters. Phonological awareness encompasses skills such as recognizing rhyming words, segmenting words into individual sounds, and blending sounds together to make words. By developing phonological awareness, children can improve their decoding abilities, spelling skills, and overall literacy success.
