This awareness is key to the ability to blend sounds together for reading (decoding) and for segmenting words into separate sounds for spelling (encoding).<\/p>\n<p>These concepts can be introduced beginning in preschool through songs, rhymes, games, exploring syllables, and shared reading activities.<\/p>\n<p>Children&#8217;s development of these skills will vary, but here are some early milestones where these skills will begin to develop.
