Directions for items 1: Say, On this one you will hear some words in small parts, one part at a time. I want you to listen carefully and then put these parts together to make a whole word. Ready? Let's try one. Play the recorded instruction that says, What word do these sounds make? Then pause to allow the child to answer. If correct, say, That's right. Let's try the next one. If incorrect, say, That's not quite right. When you put cow-boy together, it makes cowboy. You try it: cow-boy makes ___? (Pause.) Let's try the next one. Directions for items 2 to 4: Continue the recorded items listed below, pausing after each item, and give corrective feedback. Directions for items 5 to 8: Say, Let's try some more words. Each time, you will hear the word one part at a time. Listen carefully and put the parts together to make a whole word. (Continue the recorded items below, pausing after each item.) Items may be repeated once. Feedback for items 5-12 only: If correct, say, That's right. If incorrect, say, when you put pen-sel together, it makes pencil. Directions for items 9 to 33: Say, OK, now let's try some more where we say even smaller parts of words, one part at a time. I want you to listen carefully and then put these parts together to make a whole word. Ready? Let's try one. (Continue the recorded items below, pausing after each item.) Items may be repeated once.
