Blending - Answers -Blending sounds prepares students for segmenting and initial
sounds. This is all auditory and there is no symbol attached to this skill!!
Example:
• What word is made from these sounds: c-a-t
• What word is made from these sounds: t-r-e
• What word is made from these sounds: h-ou-s
• Blending will also look like chunking: c-at
Take individual sounds and blend them together to form a word
Segmenting - Answers -The division of sentences into words, compound words into
component words, words into syllables, syllables into onset and rime and finally, words
into phonemes.
Examples
If I say the word CAT, you say...c-a-t

and medial sounds.
The consciousness of individual sounds in words. It is the realization that a spoken word
is composed of a sequence of speech sounds.
The ultimate goal in phonemic awareness is to enable students to learn letter sound
correspond
The secret to remember about phonological or phonemic awareness...students can do
this with their eyes closed.
Main skills are: Rhyming, Blending, Segmenting, Manipulating,
Key phonological skills - Answers -Phonological awareness involves being able to

Phonics - Answers -Is now attaching a symbol/letter. Our students will now need to

letter. Once the letters are mastered, we move to chunks, word families and finally...the
ENTIRE word.
Phoneme - Answers -A phoneme is the smallest unit in sound that distinguishes one
word from another, sound by sound.
