We asked the big question: Is the Phonemic Awareness Guide actually accurate, or is it just another round of literacy fluff?

In this episode, Faith and I throw down a Science of Reading truth bomb 💣 and break it all the way down. No jargon. No sugarcoating. Just what works, what doesn’t, and how to make phonemic awareness stick for kids.

Here’s where we go:

🔥 Why phonemic awareness is non-negotiable for K–1, ELLs, and struggling readers

🔥 The quick 5-minute routines we use for blending, segmenting, and deletion

🔥 The myths we’re done with (like “PA stops at blending”) — and what the research really says

🔥 How we do error correction that teaches without shaming

🔥 Why honoring dialect differences matters in every classroom

🔥 How deletion + substitution fuel orthographic mapping so kids actually remember words

This isn’t another PD handout. It’s the No-BS educator’s guide to phonemic awareness — practical, research-backed, and classroom-tested.
