Which activity best develops phoneme blending skills?
Answer: Saying isolated sounds and having students combine them into a word
Phoneme blending is practiced by presenting individual sounds and having students synthesize them into a complete word.
Onset-rime manipulation involves working with which parts of a syllable?
Answer: The beginning consonant(s) and the vowel-plus-ending
The onset is the initial consonant or consonant cluster of a syllable, and the rime is the vowel and any following consonants.
A teacher counts three taps when a student says the word 'splash.' What error did the student make?

The word 'splash' has five phonemes: /s/ /p/ /l/ /ae/ /sh/, so three taps indicates the student undercounted.

Answer: It focuses on one or two phoneme manipulation types at a time
Research indicates that phonemic awareness instruction is more effective when it focuses on one or two types of phoneme manipulation rather than many at once.
A student says /f/ /ae/ /n/ and identifies the word 'fan.' This demonstrates:
Answer: Phoneme blending
Phoneme blending requires the student to combine separate phonemes into a recognizable spoken word.
