[quote=Anonymous]It's not unusual at all for a 3.5yo to have poor phonemic awareness and it's not a cause for concern at this age. It could be a sign of dyslexia if he was 5 and unable to identify beginning sounds or rhymes. At this point I would not be concerned at all unless there are other immediate family members with dyslexia. For right now, just keep reading to him. Books with strong cadence, rhyming, and alliteration build phonemic awareness -- think Mother Goose, Dr. Seuss, etc. Dr. Seuss' ABC book especially incorporates beginning letter sounds. I also echo what PP said ... ask "what begins with a /k/ sound?" rather than "what begins with 'c'?" [/quote]
