Read the first 7 Phonological Processing Skills flashcards as text

  1. A student is asked to say 'smile' and then say it again without the /m/ sound. The correct response is:

    Answer: sile

    Removing /m/ from 'smile' (/smaɪl/) yields /saɪl/, pronounced 'sile'.

  2. Which phonological awareness skill typically develops LAST in young children?

    Answer: Phoneme manipulation

    Phoneme-level manipulation (deletion, substitution, reversal) is the most advanced phonological awareness skill and emerges latest.

  3. On the WIAT Phonological Processing subtest, 'phoneme reversal' tasks ask students to:

    Answer: Say a word or pseudoword's phonemes in backward order

    Phoneme reversal requires the student to mentally reorder all phonemes of a spoken word or pseudoword and produce them in reverse sequence.

  4. Which word contains a consonant digraph?

    Answer: phone

    'Phone' contains the digraph 'ph', two letters that together represent the single phoneme /f/.

  5. A teacher says: 'What word do you get if you change the /æ/ in 'pan' to /ɪ/?' The student should answer:

    Answer: pin

    Substituting the vowel /æ/ in 'pan' with /ɪ/ produces 'pin' (/pɪn/).

  6. Which measure on the WIAT assesses rapid naming, a component related to phonological processing efficiency?

    Answer: Oral Reading Fluency

    Oral Reading Fluency (and related rapid naming tasks) taps the speed and accuracy of phonological retrieval and word recognition.

  7. How many syllables are in the word 'examination'?

    Answer: 5

    'Examination' has five syllables: ex-am-i-na-tion.
