Why is it important?
Similar to blending, segmenting is another tool that can help children figure out an unknown word by themselves. Through the act of separating or breaking down a word into sound segments, a child can focus one at a time on the segments in order to eventually figure out what the word is. Segmenting is a way in which children can read independently despite being unfamiliar with some of the words in the text.
