What order does identifying word unit orally fall in the skill sequence for the development of phonological and phonemic awareness?
- A.
First
- B.
Second
- C.
Third
- D.
Fourth
Correct Answer
A. FirstExplanation
Identifying word units orally is the first step in the skill sequence for the development of phonological and phonemic awareness. This refers to the ability to break down words into smaller units such as syllables or individual sounds. By identifying word units orally, children learn to recognize and manipulate the sounds in words, which is crucial for developing reading and spelling skills.Rate this question:

What order does identifying syllable unit orally fall in the skill sequence for the development of phonological and phonemic awareness?
- A.
First
- B.
Second
- C.
Third
- D.
Fourth
Correct Answer
B. SecondExplanation
Identifying syllable units orally falls second in the skill sequence for the development of phonological and phonemic awareness. This suggests that before being able to identify syllables, individuals need to have already developed other skills related to phonological and phonemic awareness. These skills may include recognizing and manipulating individual sounds (phonemes) in words, understanding rhyme and alliteration, and being able to segment and blend sounds in words. Once these foundational skills are in place, individuals can then progress to identifying syllable units orally.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. ThirdExplanation
Identifying rhyme units orally falls third in the skill sequence for the development of phonological and phonemic awareness. This suggests that before being able to identify rhyme units, individuals need to develop other skills such as recognizing and manipulating individual sounds (phonemes) and identifying syllables. Once these foundational skills are established, individuals can then progress to identifying and manipulating rhyme units.Rate this question:

What order does identifying phonemes unit orally fall in the skill sequence for the development of phonological and phonemic awareness?
- A.
First
- B.
Second
- C.
Third
- D.
Fourth
Correct Answer
D. FourthExplanation
The correct answer is "Fourth" because identifying phonemes unit orally is typically one of the last skills to develop in the sequence of developing phonological and phonemic awareness. Before being able to identify individual phonemes, learners typically need to develop skills such as recognizing rhyme and alliteration, segmenting words into syllables, and blending and segmenting individual sounds within words. Once these foundational skills are acquired, learners can then progress to identifying and manipulating individual phonemes orally.Rate this question:

Invented spelling, ability to hear rhyming words, ability to hear words withthe same initial and final sound, ability to segment, and knowledge of nursery rhymes are what kind of phonemic awareness assesment?
- A.
Informal
- B.
Formal
Correct Answer
A. InformalExplanation
This assessment is classified as informal because it does not follow a standardized format or have specific scoring criteria. It involves observing the child's ability to use invented spelling, recognize rhyming words, identify words with similar initial and final sounds, segment words, and demonstrate knowledge of nursery rhymes. These skills are typically assessed through informal observation and interaction rather than a structured test.Rate this question:

Phonemic segmentaion, phoneme manipulation, phoneme splitting, blending, and oddity are what kind of phonemic awareness assessment?
- A.
Informal
- B.
Formal
Correct Answer
B. FormalExplanation
The given correct answer is "Formal". This is because the question is asking about the type of phonemic awareness assessment, and the listed activities (phonemic segmentation, phoneme manipulation, phoneme splitting, blending, and oddity) are all specific tasks that are commonly used in formal assessments to measure a person's phonemic awareness skills.Rate this question:

What kind of activities do teachers need to use to teach phonemic awareness?
- A.
Oral
- B.
Experiential
- C.
Drills
Correct Answer
A. OralExplanation
Teachers need to use oral activities to teach phonemic awareness. Phonemic awareness involves recognizing and manipulating individual sounds in spoken words. Oral activities, such as rhyming games, sound blending, and sound segmentation, help students develop this skill by focusing on the auditory aspect of language. By engaging students in oral activities, teachers can help them become more aware of the sounds in words and improve their ability to distinguish and manipulate phonemes.Rate this question:

Phonological awareness includes manipulating and identifying larger parts of oral language, such as?
- A.
'words and syllables
- B.
Spoken words
Correct Answer
A. 'words and syllablesExplanation
Phonemic awareness is a subset of phonological awareness with a much more narrow focus that identifies and manipulates the individual sounds in spoken words.Rate this question:

In this test, children are asked to listen to a spoken syllable and tap out the number of phonemes it contains.
- A.
Blending Test
- B.
Oddity Test
- C.
Phonome Manipulation Test
- D.
Phoneme Splitting Test
- E.
Phonemic Segmentation Test
Correct Answer
E. Phonemic Segmentation TestExplanation
The Phonemic Segmentation Test is the correct answer because it aligns with the given scenario where children are asked to listen to a spoken syllable and tap out the number of phonemes it contains. Phonemic segmentation refers to the ability to break words down into individual phonemes, which are the smallest units of sound in a language. This test assesses a child's phonemic awareness skills by testing their ability to segment and identify the individual sounds within a word.Rate this question:
-
