A child slides a counter into a box for each sound (e.g. 3 boxes for /s/-/u/-/n/), teaching phonemic segmentation. Answer: A visual tool where children push markers into individual boxes to segment the phonemes of a spoken word. Why not the others: It is not a physical cabinet, noise meter, or postal mailing crate.
