Segmenting
Summary
TLDRThe video script introduces the 'foreign' skill, which is crucial for students learning to segment spoken words into syllables and individual sounds. This skill aids in reading and spelling, as demonstrated through primary lessons where students use hand motions to break down words like '17' into 'Sav' and 'teen'. The script also covers the process of segmenting single syllable words into sounds and handling consonant blends, such as 'Sport', with the ultimate goal of enabling students to segment words without relying on visual aids.
Takeaways
- π 'Foreign' is a skill that helps students to recognize the individual parts or sounds in spoken words and transfer this understanding to reading and spelling.
- π In primary lessons, students learn to segment spoken words into syllables and sounds, which is a foundational skill for reading and spelling.
- π Segmenting involves listening to a whole word and separating it into syllables; students use a hand motion to aid in this process.
- π Teachers guide students by saying the word, and students repeat and then segment the word into syllables they hear, such as '17' into 'Sav' and 'teen'.
- π’ Starting in week three, students are taught to segment a single syllable word into individual sounds, which is a step towards more complex word recognition.
- π The skill focus emphasizes the importance of separating a word into the sounds heard, which is crucial for spelling and reading.
- π¨βπ« Teachers use specific language to guide students in spelling words by listening for each sound and matching it with letters in print.
- πβπ¦ When spelling words, students are encouraged to count the sounds they hear, which helps in identifying the correct letters to represent those sounds.
- π For words with four or more sounds, students learn to segment the word into each sound of a consonant blend, such as 'Sport' into 's', 'p', 'o', 'r', and 't'.
- π€² The hand motion used for segmentation becomes optional and is eventually phased out to encourage students to rely on auditory skills without visual aids.
- π΅ The script includes musical interludes, indicating that the lesson might be part of a multimedia educational resource.
Q & A
What is the purpose of the skill 'segmenting' in the context of the transcript?
-The purpose of the skill 'segmenting' is to teach students to hear individual parts or sounds in a spoken word, which helps them to read and spell words more effectively.
How do students initially segment a spoken word into syllables and sounds in the primary lessons?
-Students segment a spoken word by listening to the whole word and separating it into two or three syllables, using a chopping hand motion as a visual aid.
What does the teacher say when introducing the concept of segmenting a word?
-The teacher says the word, and then students repeat the word and segment it into the syllables they hear.
Can you provide an example of how students segment the word 'seventeen'?
-The students would repeat the whole word 'seventeen' and then segment it into 'sev' and 'teen', identifying three syllables.
What is the focus of the skill when students segment a single syllable word into sounds?
-The focus is on separating a word into the individual sounds they hear, with the teacher providing guidance on how to listen for each sound and match them to letters in print.
How do students segment words with four or more sounds, such as 'sport'?
-Students use a chopping motion to segment the word 'sport' into individual sounds, recognizing four distinct sounds.
What is the role of the hand motion in the process of segmenting words?
-The hand motion serves as a visual support to help students segment words into syllables or sounds, and it becomes optional and is eventually removed as students become more proficient.
Why is the hand motion eventually removed from the lessons?
-The hand motion is removed to encourage students to segment words into sounds without relying on visual aids, promoting independent learning.
What is the ultimate goal for students when learning to segment words?
-The ultimate goal is for students to be able to segment words into sounds accurately without any visual support, such as hand motions.
How does the teacher guide students when spelling words by segmenting them into individual sounds?
-The teacher says the word, and students segment it into individual sounds, counting and identifying each sound to match with corresponding letters in print.
What is the significance of matching the sounds heard in a word to letters in print?
-Matching sounds to letters in print helps students to understand the relationship between spoken language and written language, improving their reading and spelling abilities.
Outlines
π Teaching Phonemic Awareness: Segmenting Words
The script introduces the concept of phonemic awareness, specifically the skill of segmenting spoken words into their individual parts or sounds, which is crucial for reading and spelling. It explains how in primary lessons, students are taught to break down words into syllables and sounds using a hand motion technique. The teacher demonstrates by saying a word, and students repeat and then segment it. The process involves identifying syllables in words like 'seventeen' and separating single syllable words into their constituent sounds, as in 'zip'. The script also mentions the gradual phase-out of the hand motion to encourage students to segment words without visual aids, aiming to develop their ability to internally segment words into sounds.

is a skill that teaches students to hear
the individual parts or sounds in a
spoken word this transfers to print a
student's right and spell words
in the primary lessons students segment
a spoken word into syllables and sounds
the skill focus that is provided can be
shared with students to Define what it
means to segment a word when we segment
we listen to a whole word and separate
it into two or three syllables the
teacher says the word the students
repeat the word and then segment the
word into the syllables they hear
the students can use the same chopping
hand motion from blending to segment the
word it looks like this the teacher
would say 17. the students would respond
repeating the whole word 17 and then
segmented it into Sav and teen we hear
three syllables in the word 17.
beginning in week three students will
segment a single syllable word into
sounds the skill focus says when we
segment we separate a word into the
sounds we hear the lessons also include
teacher language that can be shared when
we spell words we listen for each sound
and match the sounds we hear two letters
in print
the teacher says the word and the
students will segment the word into
individual sounds it looks like this the
teacher would say zip the students would
respond zip Z
we ask the students to count the sounds
they hear we hear three sounds in the
word zip
when hearing words with four or more
sounds the students will segment the
word into each sound of a consonant
blend we could say to students the word
is Sport they would repeat the word
Sport and use that chopping motion to
segment the word into sounds
or we hear four sounds in the word sport
within the primary lessons you will see
this hand motion become optional and
eventually removed altogether
the goal is that students will be able
to segment a word into sounds without
any visual support like this hand motion
