Working on Phoneme Manipulation Skills
I want my students to be able to manipulate phonemes in the following ways:
- Phoneme Manipulation: Phoneme Deletion
- Phoneme Manipulation: Phoneme Addition
- Phoneme Manipulation: Phoneme Substitution
I don’t want students to just be focused on substitution. Deleting and adding phonemes, also sets strong foundations for word attack skills when reading as well as strategies for spelling.
I created these CVC Phoneme Manipulation Cards just for this purpose.

Print then store cards in a container or zip bag with student instruction card, center cards, and enough record sheets for groups.
