Phonological awareness is understanding that spoken language can be broken down into smaller parts- individual sound phonemes, syllables and words. Make sense of the letter and sound pattern. Accessing vocabulary (hard for those with weak phonological skills) In grade school we read to learn new vocab. Need grammatical skills to make sense of literacy and have comprehension. Need to comprehend words, sentences, grammatical structures, narrative and text structure. Hyperlexia is great decoding skills but poor comprehension.
