What are Word Chains?

Word Chains are strings of words that only change by one sound from word to word. They are a great way for learners practice listening for sounds in words (phonemic awareness) AND relate those sounds to the letter(s) that represent them (spelling or phoneme-grapheme mapping).

For example, when a learner hears “cat,” he/she must listen for the three sounds /k/-/a/-/t/ (phonemic awareness) and understand that cat  is also represented by these three letters: c, a, t. (phoneme-grapheme mapping). When they move to the next word (mat), they must listen for the one sound that has changed (phonemic awareness) and know which letter or letters represent the sound that has changed: m.
