There is no schwa sound in this word

A student says the word "pilot" and stresses the second syllable as "pi-LOT." Is this correct? Explain why or why not by choosing the best answer.

No, because "pilot" is stressed on the first syllable: "PI-lot," and the second syllable contains the schwa /ə/ sound

Yes, because the second syllable always gets stressed in two-syllable words

Yes, because the letter "o" in the second syllable is always stressed

No, because neither syllable in "pilot" is stressed

A student is sorting words by their beginning sounds. They place "nest," "octopus," and "parrot" into three different groups. Which statement best explains how the sounds /n/, /ɒ/, and /p/ are different from each other?

/n/ is a consonant sound, /ɒ/ is a vowel sound, and /p/ is a consonant sound

/n/ is a vowel sound, /ɒ/ is a consonant sound, and /p/ is a vowel sound

A student wants to write three words that each begin with a different letter from q, r, and s. Which set of words is the best choice, and why?

queen, rabbit, sofa — because each word starts with q, r, and s and uses the correct sounds /kw/, /r/, and /s/

queen, ring, sofa — because all three words start with the same sound

rabbit, ring, run — because they all start with the letter r

sofa, queen, tiger — because they all start with different letters

A student is learning the sounds /t/, /ʌ/, and /v/. They need to create a sentence using one word for each sound. Which sentence best demonstrates all three sounds correctly?

The tiger drove a van under the umbrella.

The queen wore a ring and a crown.

The parrot sat on a nest near the ocean.

A student is trying to figure out which words contain the /ŋ/ sound. They look at the words: ring, bang, treasure, measure, explosion. Which words contain /ŋ/ and which contain /ʒ/? Choose the answer that correctly separates them.

/ŋ/: ring, bang; /ʒ/: treasure, measure, explosion

/ŋ/: ring, bang, explosion; /ʒ/: treasure, measure

/ŋ/: treasure, measure; /ʒ/: ring, bang, explosion

/ŋ/: ring, treasure; /ʒ/: bang, measure, explosion

A student is reading aloud and comes across the word "octopus." They are unsure how to pronounce the letter "o" at the beginning. Which answer best helps the student pronounce it correctly?

The "o" in "octopus" makes the /ɒ/ sound, which is a short vowel sound, so it sounds like "OCK-to-pus"

The "o" in "octopus" makes the /oʊ/ sound, so it sounds like "OH-to-pus"

The "o" in "octopus" makes the /uː/ sound, so it sounds like "OO-to-pus"

A student is asked to explain the difference between the sounds /r/ and /s/ using the words "rabbit" and "sofa." Which explanation is most accurate?

/r/ is made by vibrating the lips, while /s/ is made by pushing air through the teeth to create a hissing sound

/r/ and /s/ are the same sound but spelled differently

/s/ is made at the back of the throat, while /r/ is made at the front of the mouth with a hissing sound

Both /r/ and /s/ are vowel sounds

A student notices that the words "truck" and "van" both relate to vehicles. How are the beginning sounds of "truck" and "van" different?

"Truck" begins with /t/, which is made by stopping air with the tongue behind the teeth, while "van" begins with /v/, which is made by placing the upper teeth on the lower lip and pushing air through

"Truck" begins with /v/ and "van" begins with /t/

Both words begin with the same sound

"Truck" begins with a vowel sound and "van" begins with a consonant sound

A student is writing a short story and wants to include words with the /ŋ/ and /ʒ/ sounds. They write: "The king found a treasure during the explosion near the ring of fire." Which part of this sentence best demonstrates the use of BOTH /ŋ/ and /ʒ/ sounds?

All of the above, since king, ring contain /ŋ/ and treasure, explosion contain /ʒ/

"king" (/ŋ/) and "treasure" (/ʒ/)

"ring" (/ŋ/) and "explosion" (/ʒ/)

"king" (/ŋ/) and "explosion" (/ʒ/)
