Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students listen to short spoken words and work with the individual sounds they hear. They put sounds together, tell how many sounds are present, and pull words apart sound by sound.
What Mastery Looks Like: A student blends /m/ /a/ /p/ and says map without added sounds. The student counts three sounds in fish and separates sun into /s/ /u/ /n/.
Common Misconceptions: Students may count letters, syllables, or mouth movements instead of individual sounds. They may think words such as fish have four sounds because they have four letters.
How to Assess It: Give an oral exit check: blend /s/ /u/ /n/, count the sounds in fish, then say each sound in map.

Lesson moves

Give students three counters to push into boxes as they say each sound in words such as map, sun, and fish.
Ask, “Which word has more sounds, me or sun?” and have partners explain how they counted.
Play Robot Talk Bingo by saying picture words sound by sound while students blend them and cover matching pictures.
Send students on a classroom object hunt for a cup, pen, or book, then have them segment each object name aloud.
