The concepts of phonemic awareness and letter recognition can go hand in hand.
Phonemic awareness is the understanding of letter sounds, which obviously corresponds to letter recognition practice. Children should understand that each letter has a letter name as well as its own letter sound. When this skill is mastered they will begin to blend the sounds, or phonemes, together to read words and then spell them.

Literacy centers should have plenty of changing activities to strengthen phonemic awareness and letter recognition skills. Often the activities at the beginning of the year will concentrate on learning the alphabet and the beginning sounds of common words or objects. When these skills are mastered the children will focus on the sounds and letters in their names and then move on to high frequency or sight words.
