Can you hear the sounds in words?
When beginning readers sound out words, they slowly say each sound in a word (c-a-t), and then say the sounds quickly together to “read” the word (cat). In reading, teachers often refer to this as blending. Blending (combining sounds) and segmenting (separating sounds) are phonological awareness skills that are necessary for learning to read.
Ask your child to listen as you stretch out sounds in words. Have your child say the word at regular speed. Start with short two-sound words, and work your way up to longer words. Try to keep it fun. If a certain word is too difficult, try using a word with fewer sounds. Once your child has gotten some practice saying the word at regular speed, switch roles. Have your child say a word slowly, stretching out each sound, and you guess what word is being said.
Here are some words to stretch and shorten:
2 sounds
at (ă–t)
up (ŭ–p)
it (ĭ–t)
off (ŏ–f)
3 sounds
lip (l–ĭ–p)
map (m–ă–p)
night (n–ī–t)
van (v–ă–n)
