# SUBTEST 1: READING & LANGUAGE ARTS (Questions 1–80)
## Section A: Phonemic Awareness & Phonics (1–20)
**Question 1**
A kindergarten student can identify that the word "cat" has three sounds:
/k/ /a/ /t/. This skill is known as:
A) Phonemic awareness
B) Phonics
C) Morphology
D) Syntax
**Answer:** A) Phonemic awareness
**Rationale:** Phonemic awareness is the ability to hear, identify, and
manipulate individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken words. Phonics
connects sounds to letters (graphemes). Morphology is word parts
(prefixes/suffixes). Syntax is sentence structure.

**Question 2**
A teacher says "bat" and asks students to say "cat" by changing the first
sound. This activity targets:
A) Phoneme substitution
B) Phoneme deletion
C) Phoneme blending
D) Phoneme segmentation
**Answer:** A) Phoneme substitution
**Rationale:** Phoneme substitution is replacing one sound with
another to make a new word. Deletion removes a sound ("bat" → "at").
Blending combines sounds. Segmentation separates sounds.

**Question 3**
Which of the following students is demonstrating **phonemic
awareness**?
A) A student writes the letter "m" for the /m/ sound
, 4|Page
B) A student claps the syllables in "butterfly"
C) A student identifies that "ship" and "sheep" have different middle
sounds
D) A student reads "cat" by sounding out c-a-t
**Answer:** C) A student identifies that "ship" and "sheep" have
different middle sounds
**Rationale:** Phonemic awareness is oral and auditory. Identifying
different vowel sounds (phonemes) without print is phonemic
awareness. Writing letters = phonics. Syllable clapping = phonological
awareness (but not phonemic – syllables are larger than phonemes).
Sounding out letters = phonics.
---
**Question 4**
A first-grade student writes "JAK" for "jack." This spelling is an
example of:
A) Invented spelling (phonetic spelling)
B) Conventional spelling
C) Morphological spelling
D) Sight word spelling
