Kitchen Table Classroom: Learning Speech Sounds

Recommended by literacy specialists Michelle Bence and Dr. Miriam Ramzy, these titles can be read to and with your child to help them build phonological awareness, otherwise known as the recognition of sounds in speech. Use these books to practice skills of rhyming (where the ends of the words sound the same), alliteration (where the first sound in the word is repeated in the sentence) and assonance (the repetition of vowel sounds in a line or sentence).
