Your Turn

• Review with a partner the Alphabetic Principle and discuss how the previous assessments fit with that concept.

Phonemic AwarenessBlending Sounds

• DIRECTIONS: Clearly say the phonemes in each of the words. Then ask the student to tell you the word. Be careful not to distort sounds by adding an (uh) at the end.

1.I am going to say something slowly. See if you can guess what I’m saying.Example:

• cow (pause) boy — What is it? Cowboy• s (pause) un — What is it? Sun

Your Turn

•Practice with a partner.•Give the Blending Sounds Assessment

•Each do one section

Segmenting• DIRECTIONS: In this assessment

the child is asked to segment a word into its separate phonemes. A child’s ability to segment phonemes in words is highly predictive of later reading success.

• Listen: at. Help me break it apart: /a/ /t/.

Your Turn

•Practice with a partner.•Give the Segmenting Sounds Assessment

•Each do one section
