Teaching Oral Blending T: In order to learn to read, you need to learn how to blend sounds together to make words. To learn how to do that, we are going to play a game called "Say It Fast." In order to play the game, you have to listen to me very carefully because I'm going to say some sounds very slowly. Then I want you to say the sounds faster to make them into a real word. It will be my turn first so I can show you what I want you to do. Ready? T: 'am' |aaaaaaaa|mmmmmmmm|. Now I'm going to say those sounds really quietly to myself until I can make them into a real word |aaaaaa|mmmm| |aaa|mmm| 'am'. That word is 'am'. I'm going to do another one. Ready, listen. (ice) |IIIIIIII|sssssss| |IIIIII|sssss |IIII|ssss| 'ice'. That word is 'ice'. O.K. Now it's your turn. Listen as I say the sounds slowly. Then wait until I say, "What word?" Then, you say the word fast. Ready? (pause) T: (on) |ooooooooooo|nnnnnnnn|. (pause) What word? S: 'on'. T: Good. Let's try another one. Ready? (pause) T: (if) |iiiiiiiiiiii|ffffffff|. (pause) What word? S: 'if'. T: Great, let's try one that is a little harder. Ready? (pause) T: ( race) |rrrrrrrrrrrr|AAAAAAA|sssssssss|. What word? S: 'race' T: Fantastic! Great job. Teacher: Listen, remember how we've been learning to think about the sounds in words and we've broken big words up to count how many syllables are in words? Today you're going to learn how to break up small words and how to count the number of the smallest sound parts called phonemes. Learning how to do this will really help you when you are trying to write words. I'm going to say a word. Then I'm going to say the word very slowly and put one finger up in the air for each sound I hear in the word. Watch me and listen to how I do this. T: The word is (pause) 'no' |nnnnnnnnn|OOOOOOOO| (putting up one finger for each sound). How many fingers do I have up? S: Two T: Good, there are two sounds in the word 'no'. |nnnn| |OOO|. What are the two sounds in the word 'no'? S: |nnnnn| |OOOOO|. T: Great. Watch me and listen as I count the sounds in another word. The word is (pause) 'zoo' |zzzzzzzzzz| OO OO OO OO OO|. How many sounds are in the word 'zoo'? S: Two. T: Good, the two sounds in the word 'zoo' are |zzzzzzzzz| |OO OO OO OO|. What are the two sounds in the word 'zoo'? S: |zzzzzzz| |OO OO OO|. T: Great. Let's do a couple of words together. Put one hand up in the air so you can count the sounds. Ready? (pause) The word is 'my'. What word? Page 2 of 2 S: 'my'. T: Let's say the word 'my' slowly. Watch my signal. Ready? T&S together: |mmmmmmm||IIIIIIIIIII|. T: How many sounds are there in the word 'my'? S: Two. T: Great, what are they? S: |mmmmmm| |IIIIIIIII|. T: Terrific, let's do another one |
