Phonological Awareness Chipper Chat

Phonological Awareness Chipper Chat is an exciting and fun game designed to improve students pre-reading skills, from Foundation to Year 3. It is also an excellent resource for students who have acquired some reading skills, but need additional assistance in the area of phonological awareness.

Phonological Awareness Chipper Chat is comprehensive, targeting twelve different areas of phonological awareness skills:

• Discrimination of rhyming words
• Production of rhyming words
• Segmentation of words in a sentence
• Blending of syllables
• Segmentation of syllables
• Deletion of syllables
• Identification of phonemes
• Blending of phonemes
• Segmentation of phonemes
• Deletion of phonemes
• Addition of phonemes
• Manipulation of phonemes

It also includes a 'Quick Assessment' for each of the 12 areas. The 'Quick Assessments' provide the teacher/therapist with an easy method to determine a starting point in the program, emerging skills of the student, and mastery of skills after remediation.
