Level 2 Test

Blend Three to Five Phonemes MODEL:  I will say the sounds in a word, and then you blend the sounds together to say the word. If I say the sounds /d//r// ı¯/, the blended word you would say is dry. Let’s start. /p//a//d/ (pad) /s//p//e//l/ (spell) /d//r//e¯//m/ (dream) /s//w//i//m//z/ (swims) Segment Words with Blends and Count Sounds MODEL:  I will say a word, and then you say each sound and count the sounds. For example, if I say most, the sounds are /m//o¯ //s//t/. I raise a finger for each sound (demonstrate this as you speak): /m/, /o¯ /, /s/, /t/. Most has four sounds.
