This document provides examples of segmenting and blending activities that can be used to teach phonological awareness to children. It describes a cheer that segments the word "sun" into its individual phonemes. It also explains how drawing lines on pictures can represent the phonemes in a word. Finally, it presents a "pound and sound" activity where children move CVC words to stickers and say the whole word by blending the individual phonemes. The overall document offers suggestions for simple games to practice segmenting and blending skills.
