Does anyone know any good storybooks that you would use to help with phonemic awareness?
Re: storybooks
Depends on the age I guess:
Have you seen the website: http://www.childrenspublishing.com
Looks like a very cute book something re: Toucans. Some teaching suggestions go with this, etc. And the price looks reasonable.

Phonemic Awarness......
Hi and Greetings from Georgia,
I just wanted to HIT upon some other ideas to build phonemic awarness other then books.
1. Recite rhymes and emphasize the rhyming words. Take a word and find other words that rhyme and start a word wall. (poster paper etc.)Building an EAR for rhyme helps build segmentation of sounds. They also may see the difference in letters and that sounds in the middle of words can be the same. EX b e d and h ea d
2. Finger Plays like 5 little monkeys jumping on the bed……attention getters if you use your fingers to act out and use gestures.
3. Singing helps reinforce concepts about words as the words are often on separate notes.
4. Clapping as you recite rhythmic poems. Clap out syllables, stamp your feet,snap fingers and have some FUN while singing.
5. Word games …While in the car you can say, “I am thinking of a word that rhymes with hot and it is something to cook in?
To answer your original question about books, I think that the Cat in the Hat and a lot of Dr. Suess books can help! Nursery Rhyme books for sure!
Enclosed are a few web sites that I found interesting that might help out.
http://curry.edschool.virginia.edu/curry/centers/pals/pals-activities.html This site has lots of activities related to rhyming, letter sounds and more
http://www.perpetualpreschool.com/languageideas.html
This site has language ideas
and last http://www.enchantedlearning.com/Rhymes.html
contains nursery rhymes and visual cues to help children learn the words they are seeing and hearing
I hope that this is helpful and GOOD LUCK……..Michele
I have a list of books organized by phonemic sounds but they are on my laptop and I can’t access them right now. However, one of my favorite ways to teach phonemic awareness is through music, and rhymes. Things like clapping games, nursery rhymes and the like.
