The bead slide is one of my go-to tools when teaching the skill of phoneme segmentation. They are so easy to make and students enjoy moving the beads for each sound in a word. Sometimes it's difficult to come up with 2-, 3- and 4- phoneme words off the top of my head. I created this "cheat sheet" to use during small group instruction while teaching this skill.
