  1. A student is asked to say the word 'black' without the /l/ sound. What is the correct response?

    Answer: back

    Removing /l/ from 'black' (/blæk/) leaves /bæk/, spelled 'back'.

  2. Which task is the BEST example of phoneme segmentation?

    Answer: Saying each sound in 'ship' separately: /ʃ/ /ɪ/ /p/

    Phoneme segmentation requires breaking a spoken word into its individual phonemes, as in separating 'ship' into /ʃ/ /ɪ/ /p/.

  3. On the WIAT, the Pseudoword Decoding subtest measures a student's ability to:

    Answer: Read nonsense words aloud using phonics rules

    Pseudoword Decoding assesses phonological decoding by having students read pronounceable nonwords that have no meaning.

  4. A child says 'tup' for 'cup'. This error pattern is best described as:

    Answer: Initial consonant substitution

    The child replaced the initial phoneme /k/ with /t/, which is an initial consonant substitution.

  5. Which pair of words demonstrates a minimal pair differing only in vowel phonemes?

    Answer: hit / hot

    'Hit' /hɪt/ and 'hot' /hɑt/ differ only in the medial vowel phoneme, making them a vowel minimal pair.

  6. How many phonemes are in the word 'through'?

    Answer: 3

    'Through' is pronounced /θruː/, which contains exactly three phonemes: /θ/, /r/, and /uː/.

  7. Phonological awareness is best described as the ability to:

    Answer: Recognize and manipulate the sound structure of spoken language

    Phonological awareness is a metalinguistic skill involving conscious attention to and manipulation of the sound structure of spoken language.
