It goes on to say that "Children need to be phonemically aware (especially able to segment and blend phonemes)". [100] The skills of segmenting and blending phonemes are a central aspect of synthetic phonics. In grades two and three children receive explicit instruction in advanced phonic-analysis and reading multi-syllabic and more complex words.
Speech segmentation is the process of identifying the boundaries between words, syllables, or phonemes in spoken natural languages.The term applies both to the mental processes used by humans, and to artificial processes of natural language processing.
Phonemic awareness and the resulting knowledge of spoken language is the most important determinant of a child's early reading success. [21] Phonemic awareness is sometimes taught separately from phonics and at other times it is the result of phonics instruction (i.e. segmenting or blending phonemes with letters).
Specific activities that involve students in attending to and demonstrating recognition of the sounds of language include waving hands when rhymes are heard, stomping feet along with alliterations, clapping the syllables in names, and slowly stretching out arms when segmenting words.
Word segmentation is the problem of dividing a string of written language into its component words. In English and many other languages using some form of the Latin alphabet, the space is a good approximation of a word divider (word delimiter), although this concept has limits because of the variability with which languages emically regard collocations and compounds.
Phoneme isolation: which requires recognizing the individual sounds in words, for example, "Tell me the first sound you hear in the word paste" (/p/). Phoneme identity: which requires recognizing the common sound in different words, for example, "Tell me the sound that is the same in bike, boy and bell" ( /b/ ).

Infants usually produce their first word around 12 –14 months of age. First words are simple in structure and contain the same sounds that were used in late babbling. [32] The lexical items they produce are probably stored as whole words rather than as individual segments that get put together online when uttering them. This is suggested by ...
