Phonological awareness is the ability to identify words, parts of words, and manipulating these when speaking, listening and reading. Children need phonological awareness skills to build good literacy (reading and writing), speech and language skills.
The NIPA is targeted intervention that can be used with individual children or with groups of children. It breaks down phonological awareness into a sequence of developmental skills that can be assessed and targeted. Each skill is targeted individually, so children not following typical phonological awareness development can work on the specific areas they need support with.
