PHONEME SEGMENTATION GAMES AND ACTIVITIES<br />
• Isolate the separate sounds in words<br />
ACTIVITY 7: Break it up<br />
This activity requires no equipment.<br />
Tell the children that you are going to say a word and they have to break it up into<br />
sounds.<br />
Give some examples, beginning with simple CV, VC or CVC words such as me, nut or<br />
game. Demonstrate how to break up the word. For example, /m/ /e/, /n/ /u/ /t/<br />
and /g/ /a/ /me/.<br />
Ask the children to clap, tap their<br />
knees, touch their head, stamp<br />
their feet, click their fingers or tap hot<br />
a triangle each time a new sound is<br />
stated in a word.<br />
/h/ /o/ /t/<br />
Once the children can segment<br />
simple words, progress to words<br />
with four or five phonemes.<br />

• Isolate the separate sounds in words<br />
ACTIVITY 8: What sounds do you hear?<br />
Use the phoneme cards on pages 32–35 to help the children practise isolating<br />
phonemes in words.<br />
The children are told the number of<br />
phonemes in each word represented by a<br />
picture and they have to say the phonemes.<br />
They point to the picture, say the word,<br />
segment it and say the sounds, making sure<br />
they have the correct number to match the<br />
card.<br />
Teachers may wish to provide children with<br />
counters, markers or pegs to clip to each card to<br />
represent each phoneme in the word.<br />
The following images are depicted:<br />
1 — bee, key, boy, pea, pie, toe, cow, ape<br />
