The deep phonological awareness skills are called phonemic awareness skills because they pertain to individual sounds that build words, i.e. phonemes. This is the most detailed level of word structure that is relevant to reading and spelling.
Phonological awareness training can be accomplished without any reference to letters or written words at all, and most programs begin such training by using pictures, nursery rhymes, songs, and games of various sorts that involve only listening and speaking.
Most programs do introduce letters fairly early on, however. Thus many programs combine phonological awareness training with phonics or letter/sound correspondence training. It is still important to remember that pure phonological awareness does not involve knowledge of letters. Those acquiring literacy skills should be checked periodically to be sure that they have knowledge of word sounds and sound structure apart from knowledge of letters.

A method of teaching reading in which people learn to associate letters with the speech sounds they represent, rather than learning to recognize the whole word as a unit.

Deep phonological awareness skills
- Awareness that you can change single sounds in a word, thereby producing a new word
For example, removing the m from mat and replacing it with b to make bat - Awareness that a word can be broken down into single sounds (phonemes); ability to count the number of phonemes in a word
For example, being aware that the word boot has three sounds, and that they are /b/, /u/, /t/ - Segmentation: The ability to identify the sounds in a word singly:
For example, being able to pronounce each sound of boot separately, in any order: the last sound is /t/, the first is /b/, and the middle sound is /u/. - Manipulation: The ability to move single sounds in a word around, creating new words
For example, given the whole word cat, being able to produce act or tack - Blending: The ability to put single sounds together to form one or more words For example, when given separate sounds such as /æ/, /t, /p/, being able to use them to form tap, apt, or pat.
