  1. A student blends the sounds /f/ /r/ /ɒ/ /g/ and says 'frog'. This is an example of:

    Answer: Phoneme blending

    Phoneme blending involves combining separately presented phonemes to form a recognizable word.

  2. Which of the following words has the most phonemes?

    Answer: strength

    'Strength' contains six phonemes: /s/ /t/ /r/ /ɛ/ /ŋ/ /θ/, more than the other options.

  3. Difficulty with phoneme awareness is MOST strongly associated with problems in:

    Answer: Decoding printed words

    Research consistently shows that phoneme awareness is the strongest predictor of early decoding and word reading skill.

  4. A student is asked to identify the odd word out among 'sun', 'sock', 'fun', and 'sit'. The correct answer is:

    Answer: fun

    'Fun' begins with /f/, while 'sun', 'sock', and 'sit' all begin with /s/, making 'fun' the phonologically odd word.

  5. The WIAT Phonological Processing composite is designed primarily to identify students who may have:

    Answer: Dyslexia or phonological-based reading disabilities

    The phonological processing composite targets the core phonological deficits underlying dyslexia and phonological-based reading disabilities.

  6. Which word pair is a rhyme?

    Answer: time / lime

    'Time' (/taɪm/) and 'lime' (/laɪm/) share the rime unit /aɪm/, making them a rhyming pair.

  7. When a student substitutes /w/ for /r/ (e.g., 'wabbit' for 'rabbit'), this is called:

    Answer: Gliding

    Gliding is the phonological process where a liquid consonant (/r/ or /l/) is replaced by a glide (/w/ or /j/).
