Phonemic Awareness:

We will be working on segmenting words this week.  You can help at home by playing a "Secret Word" game with your child.  Tell them you have a secret word.  Take a simple word such as bat and segment the sounds for them.  /b/ /a/ /t/.  Have your child blend your secret word sounds together to form the word bat.  If your child is mastering simple words, go onto more difficult words that incorporate blends and digraphs (flag, spot, smash, cash, flash, etc).  This is a great game to play in the car.  The next step of difficulty is to have your child come up with a secret word and segment it for you.  Have fun helping your child learn!
