Phoneme Manipulation activity. Use magnetic letters or letters that are easy to manipulate and are organized. You start with a two phoneme word, and slowly change the word one phoneme at a time. For example, the teacher says "change //at// to //it". As you point at the letters, you say the sound, segmenting the word.// Some students can readily hear the location of the sound change, but others can not. Highlight the sound change in some way (I have letter tiles, so I just move it up, so they know what sound to change). Keep building....it to fit, fit to fat, fat to flat, flat to flap, etc. Below is a progress monitoring assessment I developed.
