There are six types of phonemic awareness. The following video provides an overview of the six types and some ways to teach phonemic awareness. The six types are as follows:

1. Phoneme Matching: Recognizing rhymes and alliteration
2. Onset & Rime: a way to split a single-syllable word into two parts
3. Blending Phonemes: Taking separate speech sounds and combining them into a word
4. Sequencing Phonemes: Identifying the position of a sound in a word (i.e., beginning, middle, or end)
5. Segmenting Phonemes: Breaking a word into its separate speech sounds
6. Manipulating Phonemes: Changing words by adding, subtracting, substituting, or transposing speech sounds
