Hmmm. If I hear a student do this then I say, now put the parts together. What word is that? I've yet to have a child not be able to do this even if it's not on the first try. After a couple of times they start doing this on their own. Elisa

One of my students is not recognizing how words fall into place in a meaningful way. When repeating the sentence, "The bad dog did not behave" the child counts behave as two words. "Be hayve" does not have meaning the way that behave does. I'm looking forward to other replies so that I can gauge whether I am on the right track with this. Kare
