Question

Which of these tasks could a student at the early phonological awareness level perform? Select all that apply.

a. "Which words begin with the same sound, cat, kiss, or map?"
b. "Segment and tap the sounds in the word flip."
c. "Clap the syllables in the word baseball."
d. "Say the word ship, then change /sh/ to /ch/."

Answer 1

Students at the early phonological awareness level can identify words that begin with the same sound such as in 'cat, kiss, map,' and can clap syllables in a word like 'baseball.' Tasks involving segmenting and manipulating sounds, as in 'flip' and 'ship,' are related to more advanced phonemic awareness. The correct option is d.

Step-by-step explanation:

The tasks that a student at the early phonological awareness level could perform include identifying words that begin with the same sound and clapping syllables in a word. In the provided options, the tasks that apply to early phonological awareness are:

• a. "Which words begin with the same sound, cat, kiss, or map?"
• c. "Clap the syllables in the word baseball."

Option b, "Segment and tap the sounds in the word flip," involves phonemic awareness, which is a more advanced skill typically developing after initial phonological awareness. Option d, "Say the word ship, then change /sh/ to /ch/," is also related to phonemic awareness as it requires manipulating individual sounds within words. The correct option is d.
