Hmmm... I have some lists of words following assorted phonetic patterns on my website at http://www.resourceroom.net/readspell/index.asp (scroll down a tad).

It should be duly noted that in perfectly competent readers, phonemic awareness takes a big dip at a certain age (I *think* middle or high school - the name of the article was something like "the fate of phonemic awareness") . We seem to get less "tuned" to specific sounds as we approach adulthood - though I would suspect reading teachers & vocalists of all sorts would be exceptions to that trend. (I know I'm disgustingly phonemically aware ;))

Thank you Betsy, for that sheet of phonemic awareness activities. By
wonderful coincidence, I was looking for some things like that for one
of my students who does not seem to be able to remember rules for
phonetic decoding. It struck me that maybe he can't distinguish between
the sounds, or manipulate the sounds.

Anyway, thanks. Now maybe some of us can contribute lists of words
appropriate to the tasks.
