How can I practice phoneme segmentation at home?

What is a phoneme practice?
Practicing phoneme manipulation involves practice both in inserting and deleting sounds in words. We’ll look at activities that focus on one, the other or both.
How do you teach phoneme blending?
How to teach blending and segmenting
- Start with words that have only two phonemes (for example, am, no, in)
- Begin with continuous sounds (phonemes that can be held for a beat or two without distorting the sound).
- Then, introduce a few stop sounds (phonemes that cannot be held continuously).
How do you explain phonemes to kids?
A phoneme is the smallest unit of sound in a language. For example, the word ‘dog’ is made up of three phonemes – ‘d’, ‘o’, and ‘g’. These are not the written letters but the spoken sounds. So, for example, the word ‘chain’, although made up of five letters, only contains three phonemes – ‘ch’, ‘ai’ and ‘n’.
What phonemes should I teach first?
However, short vowels should come first because they are typically the first to be introduced in reading lessons since they have simple one-letter spellings. Children do not need to be taught every phoneme. As they get used to identifying a limited set of phonemes, they will quickly pick up on how to identify others.
