ABC GRID

Phoneme-Grapheme Correspondance & Letter Recognition

1. Jump on letter name, say the sound

2. Teacher calls out a letter sound, student jumps on the letter that represents the sound

3. Hold up an object, have the student locate and jump on the beginning, middle or end sound. Ex: Beginning sound of the word ball. Student jumps on the letter /b/

Segment & Blend the Word

After children find beginning, middle and end sounds of the word, have them segment it 

and blend the word on a separate. Ex: grid /b/ /a/ /ll/ = ball

(Phoneme segmentation. The ability to identify separate phonemes in a spoken word.)
