The CPA is pleased to announce the release of two research-based booklets designed to help kindergarten children with phonological awareness.
These booklets were created in response to recent endorsements of kindergarten reading programs that emphasize the phonics approach over the whole-language approach. The first booklet, titled, Promoting Reading Success: A Teacher’s Guide to Phonological Awareness Activities for the Kindergarten Child, is intended for use by teachers and can be purchased on the Publications page of the CPA website. The booklet is available in both English and French. To learn more about this booklet, you can read the Preface here. The second booklet, titled, Promoting Reading Readiness: A Parent/Caregiver’s Guide to Phonological Awareness Activities for the Kindergarten-Age Child, is intended for use by parents and caregivers, and can be downloaded for free by clicking here – you also can find the link to this booklet on the Publications page of the CPA website.
If you know of any teachers, parents, or caregivers who may benefit from these booklets, please share this information with them.
