What is phoneme segmentation?
Phoneme segmentation is the
ability to break a word up into
its individual sounds.

It is on the development
continuum of Phonemic
Awareness, along with
rhyming and blending, but is
one of the more difficult
concepts for children to grasp.
Phonemic awareness refers to the
ability to hear the sounds of
language. It includes learning how to
phonetically segment (break apart) a
word into individual sounds and
blend different combinations of
sounds together to form words.
