Questions With Correct Answers.
Students who have phonological awareness are able to... - answer✔identify/make oral rhymes
clap the number of syllables in a word

recognize spoken language
blend sounds together (bl, tr, sk)
and divide and manipulate words
Onsets - answer✔beginning consonant and consonant cluster
Tr in the word train
Rimes - answer✔the vowel and following consonants within a syllable
ain in the word train
segmentation - answer✔breaking a word apart
isolation - answer✔separate word parts or to isolate a single sound in the word
phonemic awareness continuum - answer✔1. phoneme isolation
2. blending
3. segmentation
4. addition
5. deletion
6. substitution
phoneme isolation - answer✔students hear and separate out individual sounds in words
blending - answer✔students can combine sounds in a word

addition - answer✔students can manipulate a word by adding a sound that is not originally in
the word

awareness continuum will help you identify correct answer choices on the test
Phonological awareness continuum - answer✔1. rhyme
2. alliteration
3. sentence segmentation
4. syllable segmentation
5. onset and rime blending, and segmentation
6. phoneme manipulation
alliteration - answer✔students can identify and produce words with the same initial sound
example) sat, see, silly
Sentence Segmentation - answer✔students can segment sentences into words as in he/ went/ to/
the/ beach.
