Differences Between Phonological and Phonemic Awareness

Confused with the terms of phonological awareness and phonemic awareness? Phonology is the study of vocal sounds. There is no print involved in this stage of literacy.  It is an “eyes closed” stage in identifying and manipulating the sounds of oral language.  Beginning with sentences, words, syllables, onsets, rimes and ending with phonemes.
