A year or two ago, I saw a teacher using cut-outs of tools
- a hammer, a saw, etc. - as picture reminders to help
primary students use specific decoding skills. For example,
the saw reminded the students to "break the word into
smaller parts" or something to that effect. I can not find
any information anywhere, but I figure it's worth a shot to
see if anyone on this chatboard has worked with something
similar. I would be happy with a bookmark, "poster",
anything - I just need some help figuring out what word
attack skills to put with what tool. Thank you for any help
you can give! : )

Chris: The saw would be to "segment" the word aka
unblending. This is a phonemic awareness skill that is
necessary for emergent readers. They should be able to say
a word and then hear and repeat each phoneme in the word.
It would be my guess to use the hammer as a technique of
sounding out or decoding. ...See More
