What This Cluster Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students hear and work with spoken words, syllables, and individual sounds. They count, blend, segment, and manipulate sounds in one-syllable words, including consonant blends.
What Mastery Looks Like
- The student blends segmented sounds into a word and segments a spoken word into syllables or phonemes. The student changes a sound to create a new one-syllable word.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may name letters instead of producing sounds. They may treat a consonant blend as one sound or add a vowel between blended consonants.
How to Assess It
- Say the words stop and map. Ask students to blend and segment stop, then change the first sound in map to make cap.
Lesson moves

Ask students what changes in a word when one sound is replaced.
Play Blend Build by combining spoken phonemes and manipulating one sound each round.
