Since segmenting is such an important skill in phonemic awareness and Phonological Awareness, use these fun snowmen cards and pictures to match the snowflake letters to the picture on the snowman’s belly.

You can see the way all students stay involved at Snowmen Segmenting with Phonics. There is a free resource there, too! The picture will take you to the bundle.

You can also practice with no prep worksheets. These are always fun because the kiddos get something to take home to share.

Superior Segmenting Snowman Practice with Snowballs

Use cotton balls to segment each letter sound.
Then write the letters that are known to add some phonics to the lesson.

The writing of the letters always takes a back seat to the stretching of the words.

How do you help?

Students that have a difficult time recalling the formation of the letters need a little extra help. Have a sample copy that you model how to write the letter that stands for the sound. Then the students can see a sample as they write.

Check out how at Snowmen Segmenting.

Segmenting sounds through the use of these cute snowflake sound boxes and snowballs strengthens phonological awareness.

Phonological awareness refers to the ability to recognize and manipulate individual sounds in spoken language. By segmenting words into sounds, kindergarten kiddos (or all beginning readers) gain a deeper understanding of the sound structure of words.

The heightened awareness of individual sounds enables kiddos to identify patterns, rhyme, and phonetic relationships, which are crucial for reading and spelling success.
