PHONEME SEGMENTATION GAMES AND ACTIVITIES<br />

• Stretch out words • Stretch out words<br />

ACTIVITY 3: ‘Stretched out’ word cards<br />

Use the divided cards on pages 17–<strong>23</strong> to play this game.<br />

Each card must be cut up into the correct number of<br />

phonemes in the word. Cards should be printed onto<br />

cardboard and laminated for durability before using.<br />

The cards provided are divided into the number of<br />

phonemes in each word represented by an image.<br />

The cards for words with the same number of phonemes<br />

should be stored together in separate ziplock bags. One<br />

bag will contain pictures for all the words with 2 phonemes,<br />

another will hold all the 3-phoneme words, a third will hold all<br />

the 4-phoneme words and the last will hold the 5-phoneme<br />

words.<br />

The game may be played individually, in pairs or in small groups.<br />

The cut-apart cards are mixed up and the child/children move the parts together to<br />

complete the picture and say the complete word. Then they move the pieces apart<br />

segmenting the word. Ensure the children point to each part (sound) as they say the<br />

sounds that make up each word.<br />

Words are provided for more capable children who want to read them.<br />

ACTIVITY 4: Phoneme jumping (or hopping)<br />

Place three different-coloured small hoops on the floor or ground. Say a two- or threephoneme<br />

word aloud and have each child say the sounds they hear in the word as they<br />

jump into each hoop.<br />

Different-coloured hoops tell the child that each sound is a different one.<br />

Select from the words on the phoneme word list on page 24.<br />

This activity is good to use with words that are difficult to represent visually, such as am,<br />

at, is etc.<br />

Progress to four- or five-phoneme<br />

words when the children have<br />

demonstrated their capability.<br />
