Standard

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.1.2.D: Segment spoken single-syllable words into their complete sequence of individual sounds (phonemes).

 

Description

• Mastery: When given a two-phoneme word, student can segment each sound in the word.
• Acquiring: Student can segment each sound in a 2-phoneme word with assistance from the teacher. Teacher might have to elongate each sound in order for student to isolate each individual phoneme.

Considerations & Reminders

• This skill only covers two-phoneme single-syllable words, therefore omit words that have more than two phonemes from your list.
• Modeling how to segment sounds in a word is crucial in acquiring this skill.
• Elongating sounds in words can help students to segment words into individual phonemes. Use words that begin with continuous sounds when first introducing this skills (e.g. am: aaaaaaaammmmmmmm, say: sssssssssaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy, on: oooooooonnnnnnnn)
• Use a variety of resources to demonstrate phoneme segmentation e.g. using a slinky, Elkonin boxes, and TPR.
