The speaker is great at explaining in detail the concepts she’s teaching. She uses motor movements/ hand gestures that really solidify the concepts and make learning fun. I love the hand movements for elision and the monkey head and tail for telling what part of a word a sound is coming from.

The truth is, I'm afraid, that many speech pathologists (me...?) knowledge of what specifically we mean we speak of Phonological awareness is a bit wobbley, especially distinguishing between phonological and phonemic awareness and phonics. I could explain the difference now with 100% confidence.

The content of the course was information that can be applied when working with children to improve phonological awareness and phonemic awareness. ** I think this course fell short in that the important skill of executive functioning to acquire reading was not addressed. This is a skill that is commonly weak in children now days. How can you teach anything when a student is not attending?

I like the videos and the complex paragraphs that each student does in the beginning of the sessions. I also like the "What is it"? part to determine which Phonological awareness you're targeting.
by

The "what is it" activity in the presentation: I liked trying to determine whether the task was targeting phonological awareness, phonemic awareness, or phonics skills.

Presenter's pace, voice, and enthusiasm for the topic are engaging, along with great a review of phonological awareness definitions, examples, and activities for development. Appreciate the tip for doing the "heavy lifting" first - ie. targeting isolation/segmentation, blending, and elision, while less challenging PA skills develop naturally.
