Why is phonemic awareness important Phonemic awareness is the auditory ability to hear, identify, and manipulate individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken words, while phonics is the visual connection between those sounds and written letters (graphemes). Phonemic awareness focuses on spoken language, whereas phonics involves reading and spelling with printed text. https://s3.dualstack.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/hospitality.education/phonics-vs-phonemic-awareness-difference-worksheets.html
