That last paragraph is powerful - I had never given it much thought, but you're completely right. I see this post was Sept 1, and on Sept 20 you posted about segmenting - was that actually how long you waited until you introduced segmenting?
That sounds about right. I want them to be solid on blending three sounds I give them before asking them to segment a word I give them. It takes about a week for them to figure out how to say it fast on the signal. They might have the concept, but saying it all together at the same time is harder.
