A third grade teacher develops a word list from a small group of students that includes words representing complex phonics patterns. After reviewing the list with students, the teacher did a dictation activity with a different set of words that follow the same pattern and the student wrote down the word. This activity demonstrates the teacher's awareness of the importance of?

using writing activities to give students opportunities to apply phonics knowledge to new words.

using listening activities to give students opportunities to apply phonics knowledge to new words.

using speaking activities to give students opportunities to apply phonics knowledge to new words.

A first grade teacher provides students with explicit, systematic phonics instruction to promote their reading development. When designing activities to teach letter sound correspondence, the teacher should:
