Phonological awareness is the knowledge of sounds in words and the ability to manipulate them. Research has indicated that children who have poor phonological awareness skills are at risk of reading and spelling difficulties.

Segmentation is the fourth and final disc in the Leaps & Bounds Multimedia Ltd. phonological series. Segmentation is one aspect of phonological awareness. This disc encourages children to understand word structure by being able to manipulate them in order to remove syllables or sounds from words.

This disc provides assistance for both special educational needs and classroom support staff. Its flexibility also allows for the preparation of IEPs.

The activities are designed to change with each visit so that the pupils can't simply remember the answers. All of the images have been drawn specifically for this resource and can be downloaded seperately so that individual worksheets and games can be created to suit each individual.
