Reading and Phonemic Awareness Concepts

The Phonics / Graphophonemic Principle is:

• a method of teaching reading and spelling that stresses symbol-sound relationships, used especially in beginning instruction.

• a mathematical principle used in graph theory.

• a scientific principle related to sound waves.

What is an Early Reader (Stage of Reading Development)?

• A stage where children begin to understand that printed text has meaning and they start to recognize words.

• A stage where children can read fluently and comprehend complex texts.

• True

• False

What is the stage of reading development when children understand that written language has meaning and gives messages?

• Emergent Literacy
