Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students listen to short, spoken words and change one sound. They add a sound, remove a sound, or replace a sound to make a new word.
What Mastery Looks Like: Students can add, remove, or replace one sound and say the new word without seeing print. They can work with beginning, middle, and ending sounds.
Common Misconceptions: Students may say letter names instead of sounds. They may change the first sound correctly but struggle to remove final sounds or replace middle vowel sounds.
How to Assess It: Give three oral prompts: add /s/ to “at,” remove /s/ from “sat,” and change /m/ in “map” to /t/. Record each response.

Lesson moves

Give students three counters and sound boxes, then have them add, remove, or swap counters as you change spoken words.
Ask, “How does map change when /m/ becomes /t/?” Have partners explain what sound changed and where.
Play Sound Switch with picture cards, asking students to change one sound and point to the picture of the new word.
Name classroom objects such as cap and cup, then have students switch a sound and find the matching object.
