A kindergarten teacher could best determine if a child has begun to develop phonemic awareness
by asking the child to: correct answers say the word cat, then say the first sound the child hears
in the word.
Which of the following students is demonstrating the specific type of phonological awareness
known as phonemic awareness? correct answers a student who, after hearing the word hat, can
orally identify that it ends with the sound /t/
As students begin to read, the ability to blend phonemes orally contributes to their reading
development primarily because it helps students: correct answers use knowledge of letter-sound
correspondence to decode words.
A teacher holds up a series of familiar objects, asking students to name each object and isolate
the final sound they hear. This type of activity would be most appropriate for a student who:
correct answers needs help developing phonemic segmentation skills.
Phonemic awareness contributes most to the development of phonics skills in beginning readers
by helping them: correct answers identify in spoken language separate sounds that can be
mapped to letters.
Which of the following first-grade students has attained the highest level
of phonemic awareness? correct answers a student who, after hearing the word hot and the sound
/ĭ/, can substitute /ĭ/ for /ŏ/ to make the word hit
Asking students to listen to a word (e.g., same) and then tell the teacherall the sounds in the word
is an exercise that would be most appropriate for students who: correct answers have a relatively
high level of phonemic awareness.
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 tand ake. This activity is likely to promote the students'
phonemic awareness primarily by: correct answers encouraging them to divide words into onsets
and rimes.
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. Next, she asks the student to count on his
fingers the number of sounds he makes as he says the word again. This activity is most likely to
promote which of the following? correct answers phonemic awareness skills
A beginning-level English Language Learner can consistently blend individual phonemes to
make simple English words composed of two or three phonemes but is having difficulty blending
the sounds of familiar single-syllable words composed of four phonemes (e.g., clip, trap, spin).
, Which of the following questions would be most important for the first-grade teacher to consider
when addressing the needs of this student? correct answers Does the student's primary language
have consonant blends?
A preschool child picks up an unfamiliar book, opens it to the end, points to the text, and begins
to "pretend read" the story. These behaviors suggest that the child most likely: correct answers
has developed an understanding that print carries meaning.
A preschool child draws a stick figure and makes some unintelligible scribbles around it. When
she shows it to her teacher, she points to the scribbles and says, "This says 'I love mommy.'" This
behavior suggests that the child most likely: correct answers has grasped the idea that the
function of print is distinct from that of pictures.
At the end of each school day, a preschool teacher encourages the children to talk about the day's
events. As the children describe each event, the teacher writes it on large block paper. Afterward,
the teacher reads the list back to the class. This activity would contribute to the children's literacy
development primarily by promoting their: correct answers awareness that speech can be
represented by writing.
A kindergarten teacher hangs labels on key objects in the classroom, puts up posters that include
words and captions, and always has a big book on display for the children's use. This kind of
classroom environment is most likely to help promote children's: correct answers development of
an awareness of print.
A preschool teacher is reading a story to his class. As he reads, he holds the book so the children
can see the words and pictures while his finger follows the line of print. This activity would
contribute to the children's reading development primarily by: correct answers developing their
awareness of left- to-right directionality.
Pointing out the title, beginning, middle, and end of a book to a group of preschool children
before reading the book aloudto them contributes to their reading development primarily by
promoting their: correct answers development of book-handling skills.
Which of the following strategieswould be most effective in promoting kindergarten children's
ability to recognize and name letters of the alphabet? correct answers The teacher says the name
of a letter while the children each trace its shape on a cutout letter.
Having kindergarten children practice tracing the letters of the alphabet in sand is most
appropriate for children who are having difficulty: correct answers developing letter formation
skills.
A preschool teacher shows a group of children pictures of everyday objects. Below each picture
is printed the letterof the alphabet that corresponds to the word's initial sound. As the teacher
points to each picture, she names the object, then she points to the letter underneath it and says
the sound it makes. The teacher invites the children to repeat the sound with her. This activity is
