Description
Phonological awareness is one of the best predictors of reading success. One of these first phonological awareness skills is word awareness. Students learn that a passage is made up of sentences, sentences are made up of words, and words have meaning. This resource helps students identify what a word is and then to isolate words in sentences so they can begin to make meaning from print.

This word awareness unit contains 91 pages of the following :
- Lesson Guide- This lesson guide provides 5 different lesson and activity ideas that introduce and reinforce word awareness. The remainder of this product includes the various lesson and activity pages that coincide with the lesson guide.
- Word Awareness Assessment- This assessment is perfect to check students’ abilities to identify how many words are in a sentence and to discriminate between words that are different from other words in a series.
- Information Article- This article explains what word awareness is, why it’s important, and assessment objectives.
- Printables- Three types of worksheets (Circle Count, Color Count, and Number Count) in which students identify the number of words in sentences. These printables include a variety of sentence length options to meet the needs of the student.
- Game- Students choose a sentence strip and count the words in the sentence. They move the token the same number of spaces as there are words in the sentences. Sentences strips come in two sets: one with dots under each word and one without dots under each word. Each color set of sentences gets progressively longer (teal: 2-3 word sentences, pink: 4-5 word sentences, yellow: 6-7 word sentences)
- Activities- Two different sorting activities
1.) Letter/Word Sort- students differentiate individual letters from words
2.) Sentences Sort- students sort sentences into the correct column depending on how many words are in each sentence.
