PA and Phonics

What is the difference between phonological awareness and phonics skills?

Phonological awareness activities are activities that can be completed at the aural/oral level- you do not need to "see" anything to participate in these. Phonics skills come into play when you introduce letters into the activity. Oftentimes phonological (including phonemic) awareness activities are combined with letter to facilitate the alphabetic principle.
