Early Elementary Phoneme Manipulation
What makes this a strong model?
Explicit focus on advanced phonemic awareness, guiding students through the most complex skills on the phonemic awareness continuum—phoneme addition, deletion, and substitution
Use of multisensory supports to make abstract sound manipulation more accessible—sound boxes and blocks provide a concrete way to visualize phonemes
Targeting multiple foundational literacy skills simultaneously, including practicing the isolation, addition, and deletion of sounds to build precision with spoken words and connecting phonemes (sounds) to graphemes (letters) for decoding and encoding
