Directions: Today we're going to play a word game. I'm going to say a word and I want you to break the word apart. You are going to tell me each sound in the word in order. For example, if I say "old," you should say "/o/ - /l/ - /d/." (Adminstrator: Be sure to say the sounds, not the letters, in the word.) Let's try a few together.
Practice items: (Assist the child in segmenting these items as necessary.) ride, go, man
Test items: (Circle those items that the student correctly segments; incorrect responses may be recorded on the blank following the item.)
