Segmentation!!

We are working on a skill called segmentation.  It simply means pronouncing each sound in a word.  For example, the word cat has 3 sounds: /c/ /a/ /t/.  The slashes tells you to say the sound not the letter name.  Here are some activities that you can try at home:
1.  Stretch words by saying them slowly to hear all of the sounds.  Ask, "how many sounds did you hear?"
2.  Cut out pictures and sort them by how many sounds they have.
