Target Skill: Phonemic Awareness

Administration Script
"We are going to play a word game! I will say a word, and then I will ask you to change the last sound to make a brand new word. For example, if I say 'CA-P' and I want to change the /p/ to /t/, the new word is 'CA-T'. Ready? Let's try some together."

Teacher Guidance
- 1 Always model the first few examples using hand motions to "chop" the ending sound away and replace it.
- 2 Focus on the sounds only. Avoid saying letter names (e.g., say "/t/" instead of "tee").
- 3 If the student struggles, segment the word for them: "C-A... (pause) ...T. Now change /t/ to /p/."
