composed of smaller units, such as spoken words & syllables; the ability to reflect
on and manipulate the sound structure of spoken language
Phonemic Awareness Correct Answer: Awareness of the component sounds
within words. Specific type of phonological awareness involving the ability to
distinguish the separate phonemes in a spoken word.
Role of Phonemic Awareness in Reading Development Correct Answer: Phonemic
awareness does not come naturally or easily. Without directional support,
phonemic awareness eludes over 25% of students even from literacy-rich
backgrounds. These children show serious difficulty in learning to read and write.
Instead of attending to the sounds of the phonemes as they produce or listen to
speech, their active attention is directed to the meaning and force of the words as
a whole. One's level of phonemic awareness at a young age strongly correlates
with their reading success through twelfth grade.
