Free Phonological Awareness Screener for SLPs


Free Phonological Awareness Screener for SLPs

Too often, early literacy challenges go unnoticed until reading difficulties have already taken root. By the time students are identified, intervention can feel reactive rather than preventative—leaving SLPs searching for ways to better support foundational language and literacy skills from the start.

That’s why we created this free Phonological Awareness Screener—a printable tool designed to help SLPs quickly identify strengths and areas for growth in early sound awareness and literacy readiness. Whether used for progress monitoring, screenings, or early intervention, this screener supports data-driven, language-based instruction for children ages 4–8.


What You’ll Get:

    • A simple, easy-to-administer phonological awareness screener for SLPs
    • Clear instructions and scoring guidance to support consistent use

    • A printable format designed for school-based and early intervention settings

    • A resource that helps you identify literacy needs before they become barriers

    Why It Matters

    Early identification is one of the most powerful ways to support literacy success. By focusing on phonological awareness—the foundation of reading and spelling—SLPs can play a crucial role in preventing future reading difficulties and supporting students with dyslexia and other language-based learning differences.
