- answer
which of the following students is demonstrating the specific type of phonological
awareness known as phonemic awareness - answera student who, after hearing the
word "hat" can orally identify that it ends with the sound /t/
A kindergarten teacher could best determine if a child has begun to develop phonemic
awareness by asking the chid to do what - answersay the word "cat", then say the first
sound the child hears in the word
As students begin to read, the ability to blend phonemes orally contributes to their
reading development primarily because it helps students do what? - answeruse
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: - answerneeds help developing phonemic segmentation skills
Phonemic awareness contributes most to the development of phonics skills in beginning
readers by helping them: - answeridentify 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 - answera student who, after hearing the word "hot" and the sound /i/, can
substitute /i/ for /o/ to make the word hit
asking students to listen to a word and then tell the teacher all the sounds in the word is
an exercise that would be most appropriate for students who have what - answera
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 t and ake. This activity is likely to promote the
students' phonemic awareness primarily by doing what - answerencouraging them to
divide words into onset 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 - answerphonemic 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). What things should a first grade teacher consider when
addressing the needs of this student - answerdoes 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 what about the child. -
answerthey have developed a 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 say 'I love
mommy.'" This behavior suggests that the child most likely - answerhas 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 what -
answerawareness 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 promote what -
answerdevelopment 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 how? -
answerdeveloping an 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 aloud to them contributes to their reading development
primarily by promoting what - answerdevelopment of book handling skills
what strategy would be most effective in promoting kindergarten children's ability to
recognize and name letters of the alphabet? - answerthe teacher says the name of a
letter while the children each trace its shape on the cutout letter
having kindergarten children practice tracing the letters of the alphabet in sand is most
appropriate for children who are having difficulty with what? - answerdeveloping letter
formation skills
