Three letter blocks with the sounds of c, a and t are said slowly, pushed together and blended into the word "cat", and a picture of a cat shows the answer. Then the word is split back into its three sounds, a dot under each one is counted, and a recap shows that we blend sounds into a word and split a word into sounds.
