Segmenting and Blending Decodable Kit: Build the Phonemic Awareness Skills That Make Reading Click
Before a child can read a single word, something has to happen in their brain first.
They have to understand that spoken words are made of individual sounds — and that those sounds can be pulled apart and pushed back together.
That’s segmenting and blending. And it’s the foundation everything else is built on.
When students struggle with blending or segmenting, reading feels impossible. When they master it, reading starts to feel like a superpower.
The Segmenting & Blending Decodable Kit was designed to build exactly these skills — systematically, explicitly, and joyfully.
What Is the Segmenting & Blending Decodable Kit?
This kit is a complete, Reading League vetted phonics module for students who are developing phonemic awareness and early decoding skills. The focus is on two of the most critical pre-reading skills:
- Segmenting — breaking words into individual sounds for spelling and writing
- Blending — smoothly combining sounds to read words
These aren’t just phonics skills. They’re the cognitive building blocks that make reading and spelling fluency possible.

What’s Included
10 Decodable Books
Engaging, high-interest stories with carefully controlled text that reinforces segmenting and blending skills. Every word is decodable — no guessing, no memorizing, just real phonics practice in connected text.
6 Multi-Sensory Games
Hands-on activities using manipulatives to represent sounds in words. Students move, touch, and play their way to phonemic awareness mastery — which research shows is far more effective than worksheets alone.
Teaching Manual
10 easy-to-follow, research-based lessons with a pacing guide, suggested teaching timeline, small group planning chart, and suggestions for read-aloud connections. Plus a family letter and reading folder cover — ready to go.
e-Book Library + Poetry Book + Writing Journal
Digital access for flexible learning at school and home, a decodable poetry book for building rhythm and fluency, and a writing practice journal to connect reading to writing skills.
Key Skills Covered
- ✔️ Identifying individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken words
- ✔️ Blending sounds together to read words
- ✔️ Segmenting words into phonemes for spelling and writing
- ✔️ Using manipulatives to represent sounds in words
Who Is This Kit For?
This kit is ideal for:
- Kindergarten and early first grade students building phonemic awareness
- Small group phonics instruction
- Reading intervention and RTI programs
- Independent practice in literacy centers
- Homeschool phonics curriculum
- Students who are decoding letter by letter but not yet blending smoothly
Why Segmenting and Blending Matter So Much
The Science of Reading is clear: phonemic awareness — the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate individual sounds in spoken words — is one of the strongest predictors of reading success.
Students who can segment and blend fluently make the leap to decoding written words much faster. Students who can’t often get stuck — even when they know their letter sounds.
This kit bridges that gap. It takes students from knowing sounds to using sounds — in reading and in writing.
Our kits are Reading League vetted and align with all major phonics programs, making them ideal for small group instruction and independent practice.
