No jargon. No sugarcoating. Just what works, what doesn’t, and how to make phonemic awareness stick for kids.Here’s where we go:🔥 Why phonemic awareness is non-negotiable for K–1, ELLs, and struggling readers🔥 The quick 5-minute routines we use for blending, segmenting, and deletion🔥 The myths we’re done with (like “PA stops at blending”) — and what the research really says🔥 How we do error correction that teaches without shaming🔥 Why honoring dialect differences matters in every classroom🔥 How deletion + substitution fuel orthographic mapping so kids actually remember wordsThis isn’t another PD handout. It’s the No-BS educator’s guide to phonemic awareness — practical, research-backed, and classroom-tested.🔗 Resources We Mention BREAKING News: A revolutionary breakthrough in dyslexia intervention is HERE!/Dysolve-Created By Dr. Coral Hoh It’s bold.
