Blending
Here is an example of how children blend phonemes together to read words.
Teachers will encourage children to recognise Common Exception Words (like I), sound out any unknown decodable words and blend those phonemes together.
Segmenting
This is an example of how children will segment the phonemes in words to spell. Teachers will encourage children to say the word slowly and then identify each individual phoneme, using phoneme fingers to count them. Then they can write each individual phoneme down and then use their blending skills to check their answer.
