Answer 4

Something that worked well for my homeschooled son was finger puppets.  Not just ordinary finger puppets, these guys always stayed in a team.  They would talk by each saying a sound part of the word, (wiggle each one as he speaks), for instance the word "park"  First puppet says /p/, next puppet says /ar/, next puppet says /k/. They would get faster and faster until the word was guessed.  Afterward we talked about what "initial" man said, "middle" man said, and "final" man said.   If you use make and use puppets like this, just be sure that the puppets "speak" from the child's left to the child's right.

When my son was ready to move from phonemic awareness into actual phonics, these puppets started wearing letters.

A great sight with some free downloads is http://www.starfall.com

Working on a CDA? Look for songs etc. with lots of rhyme. Raffi's "Down by the Bay" is a good choice. Let the kids make up their own verses. Alphabet books that talk about the sounds of the letters, not just the names, are also good.

Answer 6

Look up http://preschooleducation.com for lots of songs and fingerplays.  You will have a lot of choices, so you can pick and choose which ones are best to develop phonological awareness.  Look for ones with lots of rhymes, or same initial sounds.

Answer 7

I always find lots of them in the children's section of the public library.  Some are in the children's books, themselves, some in the reference section for adults dealing with children.  You could also try the nearest school district, which often has a staff library for teachers to check out books.  You may be able to sit there & look at books.  Also, lots of churches have similar books in their play areas or nurseries & you could pick out appropriate songs & pages.
