Phonology is

• the relationship between sounds and their spellings as a method of teaching decoding and encoding.

• the study of the basic sound units of language.

• the symbols used to represent the speech sounds of a language.

Phonological awareness--

• is the ability to detect and manipulate the sounds structures of spoken language at the sentence, word, syllable, and phoneme level.

• the study of the basic sound units of language and their production.

• is the ability to blend, segment, and manipulate individual speech sounds in written words

• the relationship between sounds and their spellings as method of teaching decoding and encoding

During a syllable awareness lesson, the teacher says, "mariposa." Then, the students say, /ma/-/ri/-/po/--/sa/. This is an example of:

• manipulating syllables

• blending syllables

• decoding syllables

• segmenting syllables

Phonemic awareness involves segmenting, blending, and manipulating individual speech sounds of __________ words.

During a phonemic awareness instruction, the teacher says, "Escuchen. Cambien el sonido /p/ en la palabra pasa a /m/. ¿Cuál es la nueva palabra?" This is an example of--

• segmenting phonemes

• manipulating phonemes

• blending phonemes

• isolating phonemes

Select the group of Spanish phonemes that are continuous sounds:

• /m/, /l/, /g/

• /t/, /s/, /n/

• /m,/ /rr/, /f/
