Abstract
Phonological awareness is the area of oral language that relates to the ability to think about the
sounds in a word. It is an understanding of the structure of spoken language that it is made up of
words consist of syllables, rhymes and sounds. This ability is important for using sound-letter
knowledge effectively in writing and reading as well. This research conducted the assessment of
preschool students ability in writing the dictated words through their phonological awareness not by
memorizing the letters. There were 19 students assessed in this research. 2 out of 19 were failed to
improve in the vowel sound of oo and oa. 17 out of 19 were success to be improving after giving
phonological awareness.
