orally manipulate phonemes in spoken words by addition, deletion and substitution of initial, medial and final phonemes to generate new words (phonological awareness)

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a readiness-year topic that builds towards the next NAPLAN year. Bloomi practises it as curriculum mastery, never test drilling.

What this looks like in the classroom

• adding, substituting or deleting phonemes in any position in one-syllable words with up to 4 phonemes
• substituting medial sounds in spoken words to make new words; for example, “pin”, “pen”, “pan”
• substituting final sounds in spoken words; for example, substitute the “t” in “pet” with “g” to form a new word “peg”
