An evidence-based guide for reading leads and SENDCOs noticing fragile phonemic awareness, despite strong phonics teaching.

When phonics teaching is working well, but perception of phonemes is fragile for some pupils, something important is being missed. Timing may be the missing link.

FOR THOSE LEADING READING DEVELOPMENT!

This guide on phonemic awareness outlines:

why some pupils show a 'fuzzy' perception of phonemes, despite high quality phonics teaching.
how temporal alignment affects phonological processing.
the relationship between rhythmic and phonemic awareness, and how they work together.
indicators of timing-based barriers.
how to observe coherence before it becomes measurable.

Evidence-based Research-led

For Reading Leads and SENDCOs.

This is a professional reflection on:

why some children struggle to perceive phonemes clearly.
how rhythm may support temporal alignment in reading.
what this means for fluency and comprehension.
