This activity is done orally. The tutee will listen to the words you say and tell you the sounds they hear in each word.
Say to the tutee, “I am going to say a word, tell me all of the sounds you hear in the word. If I say mop, you’ll say /m/ /o/ /p/.”
The tutor will underline the sounds that the tutee segments.
Teach the tutee to tap the sounds in each word.
Record the number of sounds correct on the record sheet

5. Letter Names and Sounds
1. Letter Naming
Students will begin with the first set of letters. Show the kindergartener a flash card and have them tell you the letter name. Make a pile of the letters they get correct and incorrect. Record the number of letters the tutee names correctly on the record sheet.
2. Letter Sounds
Teach and practice any unknown letters and sounds. When the student has mastered all of the letter names and sounds in the set, add the next set of letters.
