Page 1 of 7 LETRS UNIT 2 EXAM QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS 2024 -2025 |GRADED A+ Even after first grade, skills such as phoneme segmentation and blending of single -
syllable words without consonant blends are good predictors of reading ability. - Answer: false Students' ability to acquire phonemic awareness is not dependent on which of the following factors? - Answer: word comprehension Which of these tasks could a student at the early phonological awareness level perform? - Answer: determining whether cat and kiss begin with the same sound and clapping/counting the syllables in the word pencil If a student analyzes the sounds and syllables in a word, it is easier for the student to store the word in semantic memory. - Answer: true Read the following list of classroom activities. Select the one that targets phonological awareness only, without attempting to address other language skills. - Answer: ms. Chang says a word and has students repeat it, clap for each syllable, and count the syllables. Which of these skills should not be a direct focus of classroom instruction? - Answer: phonological working memory (pwm) and rapid automatic naming (ran) The term coarticulation means the ability to: - Answer: say the phonemes within a syllable so that all of the segments are seamlessly joined. A student with general phonological awareness can learn to read fluently, even if the student has not yet developed awareness of speech sounds at the phoneme level. - Answer: false If a student analyzes the sounds and syllables in a word, it is easier for the student to store the word in semantic memory. - Answer: true Read the following list of classroom activities. Select the one that targets phonological awareness only, without attempting to address other language skills. - Answer: ms. Chang says a word and has students repeat it, clap for each syllable, and count the syllables. Which of these skills should not be a direct focus of classroom instruction? - Answer: phonological working memory (pwm) and rapid automatic naming (ran) How many phonemes are there in the word "cloud"? - Answer: 4 Page 2 of 7 Which of these words are divided by onset -rime? - Answer: the words "sk - imp" and "str-eet" are divided by onset -rime. How many syllables are there in the word "phonological"? - Answer: 5 The phonological processor allows us to do which of the following? - Answer: perceive sounds, remember sounds, interpret sounds, produce speech The written representation of a speech sound is known as a grapheme. - Answer: true Providing direct, detailed phonemic awareness instruction is only necessary for students who struggle with reading. - Answer: false Which of the following is a necessary prerequsite to being able to read words? - Answer: perceive individual speech sounds, produce individual speech sounds, manipulate individual speech sounds It is necessary that students know how speech sounds look and feel when produced as well as how they sound. - Answer: true Phoneme - Answer: in any language, the smallest unit of sound used to build words Phonemic awareness - Answer: conscious awareness that words are made up of segments of our own speech that are represented with letters in an alphabetic orthography. Phonology - Answer: the rule system in a language by which phonemes can be sequenced, combined, and pronounced to make words. Phonetics - Answer: the student of the sounds of human speech; articulatory phonetics refers to the way the sounds are physically produced in the human vocal tract. Phonological processing - Answer: multiple functions of speech and language perception and production, such as perceiving, interpreting, storing (remembering), recalling or retrieving, and generating the speech sound system of a language. Phonological awareness - Answer: conscious awareness of all levels of the speech sound system, including word boundaries, stress patterns, syllables, onset -rime units, and phonemes Assessing phonological skills is almost never appropriate after a child has completed first grade. - Answer: false Phonemic awareness is difficult to measure directly as an isolated skill. - Answer: true
