Which of the following students is demonstrating the specific type of phonological awareness known as phonemic awareness?
A student who, after being shown a letter of the alphabet, can orally identify its corresponding sound(s).
A student who listens to the words sing, ring, fling, and hang and can identify that hang is different.
A student who, after hearing the word hat, can orally identify that it ends with the sound /t/
A student who listens to the word magazine and can determine that it contains three syllables.
As students begin to read, the ability to blend phonemes orally contributes to their reading development primarily because it helps students:
recognize and understand sight words in a text.
use knowledge of letter-sound correspondence to decode words.
guess the meaning of unfamiliar words from their context.
divide written words into onsets and rimes.
Phonemic awareness contributes most to the development of phonics skills in beginning readers by helping them:
recognize different ways in which one sound can be represented in print.
count the number of syllables in a written word.
identify in spoken language separate sounds that can be mapped to letters.
understand the concept of a silent letter.
Which of the following first-grade students has attained the highest level of phonemic awareness?

a student who can orally segment the word wonderful into won-der-ful
a student who after hearing the words fish and fun, can identify that they both begin with the same phoneme, /f/

A kindergarten teacher asks a small group of students to repeat after her. First, she says the word grape and then pronounces it as gr and ape. Next, she says the word take and then pronounces it as t and ake. This activity is likely to promote the students' phonemic awareness primarily by:
helping them recognize distinct syllables in oral language.
encouraging them to divide words into onsets and rimes.
teaching them how to distinguish between consonants and vowels.
promoting their awareness of letter-sound correspondence.
A teacher shows a student pictures of familiar objects. As the teacher points to the first picture, she asks the student to name the object in the picture.

understanding of the alphabetic principle
phonemic awareness skills
development of letter-sound correspondence
word identification skills
