Developmental Sequence – Phonological Awareness
(We will be working on each of these this semester.)
A. Word Segmentation(How many words are there in the sentence I love to read?)
B. Rhyme – Recognition(Does train rhyme with crane?)
C. Rhyme – Production(What is a word that rhymes with far?)
D. Syllable Blending(Put together rain and bow; what word is it? rainbow)
E. Syllable Segmentation(Break apart the syllables in baseball)
F. Syllable Deletion(Say pancake without the pan.)
G. Onset and Rime/Blending(Tell me the word I am trying to say: /f/.. .irm. firm)
H. Phoneme – Matching/Isolating Initial(What sound do you hear at the beginning of pad?)
I. Phoneme – Matching/Isolating Final(What is the last sound you hear in can?)
J. Phoneme – Matching/Isolating Medial(What sound do you hear in the middle of dog?)
K. Phoneme – Blending(Put these sounds together and tell me the word: /s/ /t/ /e/ /m/.)
L. Phoneme – Segmentation(Take apart all the sounds in the word cat.)
M.Phoneme – Manipulation(Change the /k/ in kite to a /b/. What word do you get?
Note: We have been working on many of these steps already this year. This may give you ideas of things you can work on at home!
