Sound Awareness Program
The Sound Awareness Program is designed by our speech therapists to support pre-literacy development in children aged 3 to 6 through fun, sound-based activities that can build foundational skills for future reading and writing. By focusing on rhyming, sound discrimination, blending and segmenting, Sound Awareness Program aims to strengthen active listening, vocabulary, phonological awareness and phonics skills.
The interactive games offer opportunities to develop social skills like turn-taking and collaboration, while tasks involving sound recognition and pattern identification can promote cognitive and critical thinking abilities. The program also includes fine motor activities to develop coordination and finger strength, supporting early handwriting skills. With a playful approach, Sound Awareness Program aims to help children gain confidence as they prepare for school.
Created for ages 3 – 6

Does this sound familiar?
"I struggle with literacy myself and I don’t want my child to have the same struggles at school that I did."
"My child has an interest in letters, but I have no idea how to support and encourage this interest to maximise their literacy outcomes."
If these challenges sound familiar, you are not alone. It’s exactly why we’ve designed this program.
If these challenges sound familiar, you are not alone. This program is specifically designed to help support children build their understanding of language and communication development.

What the program covers
This program focuses on developing sound awareness skills such as rhyming, segmenting, blending and phonics, while also supporting vocabulary growth and auditory discrimination. Through engaging activities like movement games, board games and sensory activities, children can explore these skills in a way that aligns with their unique interests and developmental needs, building confidence and readiness for school.
Social and cognitive development is also supported through cooperative play integrated with phonological tasks, aiming to help children build skills like focus, problem-solving and following directions. Additionally, fine motor activities are incorporated to enhance hand-eye coordination and prepare children for handwriting.
Parents and caregivers will receive practical tools and strategies that can foster early literacy at home, with adaptable activities that can be scaled up or down depending on the child’s abilities and goals. With a focus on nurturing a love of learning, Sound Awareness Program offers a versatile and supportive approach to prepare children for formal schooling and future literacy success.
