Considerations & Reminders

• This skill covers single-syllable words of four or more phonemes, so you may use word banks that contain words of two and three phonemes as well. Counting Sounds in Words (teacher and student) starts at 0:54.
• You may use a variety of resources to demonstrate phoneme segmentation (e.g., a slinky, Elkonin boxes, and TPR).
