A child’s ability to master reading and writing depends on several factors. The most important skill, however, is Phonological Awareness — the ability to understand that spoken language is made up of sentences, words, syllables, and sounds (phonemes). This skill must be well-developed before starting primary school. 🔍 How can I tell if my child has phonological awareness? Try this simple task: Say a word to your child sound by sound (e.g., /c/–/a/–/t/). Your child should be able to blend the sounds to form the word. Important: Do not use the names of the letters (e.g., “cee” or “ay”), but rather their phonetic sounds as heard in speech. If your child can easily blend even longer words (e.g., /t/–/e/–/a/–/c/–/h/–/e/–/r/), it’s a good sign of well-developed phonological awareness. ⚠️ If your child struggles: • It’s wise to assess their overall learning readiness • A preventive screening is recommended before entering first grade — something done systematically in many European countries • At Evlogon, we conduct standardized tests (such as the A-Test and Athena Test) to evaluate your child’s readiness Assessments can begin from age 5. Early detection of difficulties paves the way for targeted and effective support — and that makes all the difference.
