Phoneme isolation: Building phonemic awareness
http://www.readwritethink.org/lessons/lesson_view.asp?id=120
A lesson plan for grades K–1 English Language Arts
In this lesson from ReadWriteThink, students engage in games and chants to identify beginning and ending phonemes. Students will match objects with the same beginning or ending sound, identify whether a given sound occurs at the beginning or ending of a word, and connect phonemes with graphemes.
