Blending - Answer -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 - Answer -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
If I say the word SUN, you say...s-u-n
Tell me the sounds you here in MOP
Break up words into individual sounds
Deletion - Answer -Deletion is the manipulation of sounds in words. By deleting a
sound, you are creating a new word. The text calls this manipulation. Your final will call
this: Deletion
Examples
What is stop without the /s/ sound?
What is farm without the /f/ sound?
, What is bread without the /b/ sound?
Take away a sound (letter) and it forms a new word
What is the single most distinguishing feature about phonemic awareness? - Answer -
Sound. You can hear it (it is all auditory)
This involves being able to detect separate words in a sentence, to separate syllables in
a word, to segment words into their separate sounds and to perceive beginning, ending,
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 - Answer -Phonological awareness involves being able to detect
separate words in a sentence, to separate syllables in a word, to segment words into
their separate sounds and to perceive beginning, ending, and medial sounds.

Phonemic awareness - Answer -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
correspondence.
Phonics - Answer -Is now attaching a symbol/letter. Our students will now need to learn
the name of the letter, the sound of the letter, writing the letter and reading the letter.
Once the letters are mastered, we move to chunks, word families and finally...the
ENTIRE word.
Phoneme - Answer -A phoneme is the smallest unit in sound that distinguishes one
word from another, sound by sound.
Examples
Cat: c-a-t
Pig: p-i-g
How many phonemes do you hear in: tree, fun, ship
