This collection of Phonemic Awareness Progress Records includes four different tools to help you gather information about the phonemic awareness development of individual students. The data you collect will help you make intentional decisions about phonemic awareness instruction. The tools can capture data from either informal observation or more formal practice sessions, including individual and group options. We elaborate on these skills and the use of data collection tools for phonemic awareness in our book, Shifting the Balance: 6 Ways to Bring the Science of Reading into the Balanced Literacy Classroom, and in our online class.
