A teacher notices a student can segment two-phoneme words but struggles with three-phoneme words. Which instructional support is MOST appropriate?
-
A
Introduce four-phoneme words to build the student's tolerance for complexity
-
B
Use Elkonin (sound) boxes with three-box grids so the student can physically push counters for each sound
-
C
Switch entirely to phonics instruction since phonemic awareness is sufficiently developed
-
D
Have the student practice onset-rime blending rather than segmentation
