Today is NOT Brought to You By the Short Vowel ‘O’ Research shows that phonemic awareness is predictive of and a cornerstone of literacy success. Students who use AAC often struggle with phonemic awareness. This workshop will begin with a brief overview of the research on phonemic awareness and tasks for assessing phonemic awareness. Both light and high tech strategies will be suggested for supporting phonemic awareness, including adaptations for students who use AAC. These strategies follow Musselwhite’s AAIF Rule (adapted, authentic, individualized, as well as being fun and interactive).
