Children with identified deficits may be provided with enhanced education in specific skills such as phonological awareness.

By 36-60 months, phonological awareness continues to improve as well as pronunciation.

The development of phonological awareness is closely tied to overall language and speech development.

Consistent with this finding, children with communication disorders often have poor phonological awareness.

The relationship between phonological awareness and reading abilities changes over time.

Listening skills are an important foundation for the development of phonological awareness and they generally develop first.

The process does not take into account children's individual neuropsychological factors such as phonological awareness and memory, that can help design instruction.

For example, in alphabetic languages, phonological awareness is highly predictive of reading ability.

Sophisticated spelling, even if it is not conventional, may indicate strong phonological awareness.

And it also requires phonological awareness, or an ability to break words into their component sounds.
