Phonological and Phonemic Awareness Flashcards

Which of these tasks requires phoneme substitution?

Answer: Replacing /b/ in 'bat' with /r/ to make 'rat'

Phoneme substitution involves replacing one phoneme with another to create a new word.

Alliteration activities in which children identify words that start with the same sound develop awareness of:

Answer: Initial phonemes

Alliteration activities draw attention to the initial phoneme of words, building phoneme isolation skills.

A kindergarten student correctly identifies that 'ball,' 'boat,' and 'bug' all start with the same sound. This skill is called:

Answer: Phoneme isolation

Phoneme isolation is the ability to identify and separate out a specific phoneme within a word, such as the initial sound.

Which sequence correctly shows the developmental progression of phonological awareness from least to most advanced?

Answer: Rhyme recognition, syllable awareness, phoneme manipulation

Children typically develop awareness of larger sound units (rhymes) before syllables and ultimately before being able to manipulate individual phonemes.

A child who cannot hear that 'cat' and 'map' end with different sounds may benefit from:

Answer: Explicit instruction in rhyme recognition using songs and word families

Rhyme recognition is an early phonological awareness skill that can be developed through songs, nursery rhymes, and word family activities.

What is the key difference between phonological awareness and phonemic awareness?

Answer: Phonological awareness includes awareness of syllables and rhymes, while phonemic awareness focuses specifically on individual phonemes

Phonemic awareness is a subset of phonological awareness; phonological awareness is the broader category that includes syllables, rhymes, onset-rime, and phonemes.
