#4/Thursday, Phonemic Awareness Podcast: Sound Switching   BUILDING BLOCK #5- Elision of Sounds in Words   When children can manipulate sounds in words, they are better equipped to read and spell well. In the next couple of lessons, we’ll take off the first sound and determine what word remains, and then we’ll take off the final sound and determine what word remains. Again, children will practice holding sounds in their working memories. These exercises help to prepare your children to become strong readers. https://bookbums.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/On-Your-Way-Thursday-PA-podcast-bits.pdf For more information and podcasts www.bookbums.com/podcast
