#5/Friday, Phonemic Awareness Podcast: Stretching Out Words to Hear Each Sound   Now, we are going to say words without stretching them out at all. We will simply clearly say a word.

This is an important skill when learning to spell. https://bookbums.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/On-Your-Way-Friday-PA-podcast-bits.pdf  For more information visit www.bookbums.com/podcast
