I think this post is important and necessary even for me. In this blog you are going to read about phonemic and phonological awareness, and phonics. Do you know what does every term means? Well, do I? More or less now, but at the beginning of term I was quite confused. It's because of that I've decided to make clear the differences, sometimes not too remarkable.
Let's get started.
As you learn more about reading development and instruction you may come upon two terms that look quite similar: phonological awareness and phonemic awareness.
While the two are often used interchangeably there are slight distinctions between them. Have a look at this picture from another blog (the address is at the bottom):

Also you can see my work about phonological awareness HERE, and you can see my activities clicking on the tab menu: Phonetics and phonics -> Phonological awareness -> Activities.
And... what about phonics?
The goal of phonics is to enable beginning readers to decode new written words by sounding them out, or in phonics terms,blending the sound-spelling patterns. Since it focuses on the spoken and written units within words, phonics is a sublexical approach and, as a result, is often contrasted with whole language, a word-level-up philosophy for teaching reading.
Since the turn of the 20th century phonics has been widely used in primary education and in teaching literacy throughout the English-speaking world. More specifically synthetic phonics is now the accepted method of teaching reading in the education systems in the UK and Australia.
