	'''Phonemic Awareness''' is an essential part of the Montessori language curriculum, especially for children between the ages of 2 and 3 years. Before teaching children letters or reading, Montessori education focuses on enhancing phonological awareness.

	'''Phonemic Aawareness''', a subset of phonological awareness, involves identifying and manipulating individual sounds in spoken words. This skill involves breaking down a word into its sounds, recognizing sound-letter patterns, blending, segmenting, and playing with sounds to make new words. Developing phonemic awareness forms the foundation for spelling and word recognition skills, including the decoding of unfamiliar printed words.<ref name="Ehri1991">Ehri, L. C. (1991).
