How is the word pl – ay divided in this example? – ANSWER-onset-rime
How many spoken syllables are there in buttered? – ANSWER-2
How many spoken syllables are there in possible? – ANSWER-3
What ability would students have who had attained advanced levels of phonemic
awareness? – ANSWER-They can read most grade-level words by sight
Which teaching strategy would be most helpful for students who confuse the sounds /f/
and /th/ in their own speech? – ANSWER-Have the student look in a mirror while
describing and producing each sound.
Which student is demonstrating the most advanced level of phonemic awareness? –
ANSWER-a student who reverses the order of sounds in perch to make chirp
A student writes the word went as “wet.” What aspect of phonology is associated with
this common spelling error? – ANSWER-Answer is NOT “affrication of the stop
consonant when it is after a nasal” or “substitution of a final stop for a nasal consonant”
Phonological awareness tasks that emphasize segmentation and blending of two- or
three-phoneme words align with which level of phonological awareness according to
Kilpatrick? – ANSWER-basic phonemic awareness
Which set of words would be appropriate for practicing four-phoneme blending? –
ANSWER-quit, sling, roast
If a student obtains a low score on a test of rapid automatic naming (RAN), what is the
teacher’s best course of action? – ANSWER-Continue to develop phonological
awareness at the appropriate levels.
Which phonological awareness activity would be most appropriate for early kindergarten
students in Ehri’s prealphabetic phase? – ANSWER-recognizing the rhyming words in
“Hickory Dickory Dock”
Which of the following is most likely a symptom of a problem with phonological working
memory? – ANSWER-forgetting the words when asked to repeat a sentence
A second-grade student is given a test that measures simple phoneme segmentation
and blending and does well. However, when given the PAST, he can’t perform
advanced phonemic awareness tasks. What would be the best skills for him to practice
based on these results? – ANSWER-sound deletion, substitution, and reversal
How is the word pl – ay divided in this example?
onset-rime
How many spoken syllables are there in buttered?
2
How many spoken syllables are there in possible?
3
The use of nonsense words for phonemic awareness activities is:
useful only occasionally within sound chains.
Which teaching strategy would be most helpful for students who confuse the sounds /f/ and /th/ in their own speech?
While showing each letter, ask the students to say a corresponding phoneme.
Which student is demonstrating the most advanced level of phonemic awareness?
a student who can use colored blocks to change the sounds in slip to make it slick
A student writes the word went as “wet.” What aspect of phonology is associated with this common spelling error?
nasalization of a vowel before a nasal consonant
Best practices for teaching phonemic awareness activities include:
a student who can use colored blocks to change the sounds in slip to make it slick
Which set of words would be appropriate for practicing four-phoneme blending?
quit, sling, roast

sound deletion and substitution
If a student in first grade (or later) often confuses words like bed and bad, pest and past, and pen and pan during spelling, what skill practice would be most appropriate?
discriminating phonemes /ě/ and /ă/
As a general guideline, the optimal amount of time to spend on teaching phonemic awareness to normally progressing kindergarten or first-grade students is:
5-10 minutes daily for about 20 weeks.
