relates to acquisition of phonological awareness and word knowledge (National Reading Panel‚ 2000‚ p. 2-1). Word knowledge is the association of sounds and meaning‚ later transcribed to a symbolic system used to decode reading. Though without phonemes‚ the written language becomes ‘arbitrary’ (Yopp & Yoop‚ 2000‚ p. 131). Concepts of words and phonology work hand in hand to promote reading success. For example‚ a horse is a visualised concept until phonological awareness is discussed and exemplified

Phonological awareness is defined as “the ability to manipulate sounds in a word by deleting‚ adding‚ and substituting syllables or sounds” (Rief and Stern 61). Most children develop the ability to connect verbal sounds with letters before starting school. Children must develop this skill before they learn how to read. Students with dyslexia cannot connect verbal sounds with letters‚ so they resort to memorization of word shapes and sounds. Teachers can reinforce and teach phonological awareness
