Digital – Remote Phonological Awareness Assessment (PAA)

Phonological awareness refers to the ability someone has to recognise and manipulate spoken parts of words and sentences.

Reading problems can be avoided with explicit instructions in phonological awareness during the early years of development and can help support struggling readers of all ages.

Best of all it can be delivered remotely via our Dystech platform.
