Quote
When a child learns to talk, she has to combine the separate sounds, or phonemes, that make up words to pronounce them. But she’s not conscious of what she’s doing when she says a word. Reading requires that the child become conscious of the fact that written words are made up of pieces of sound (phonemes). It requires a deeper level of awareness of language— phonological awareness.
