Answer:

Phonemic awareness facilitates growth in printed word recognition.

Step-by-step explanation:

Phonemic awareness is essential for learning to read in an alphabetic writing system, because letters represent sounds or phonemes. Without phonemic awareness, phonics don't make sense at all Even before a student learns to read, we can deduce with a high level of accuracy if that student will be a good reader or a poor reader.
