Of the following students, which is showing phonemic awareness?
  1. Snookie, who after hearing the wordcup, says that it ends with the /p/ sound
  2. Pauly, who says that the word Jersey has two syllables
  3. Vinnie, who can orally describe the sound that the letter v makes when pointing to the letter in the alphabet
  4. Mike, who can identify that the word cat is different than the words hot, pot, and not
Explanation
Answer: A- The student showing phonemic awareness is Snookie. By identifying that cup ends with the /p/ sound, Snookie is showing phonemic awareness. Phonemic awareness is the knowledge that spoken words are composed of phonemes, which are individual sounds. Mike is showing his awareness of rhyme, Pauly is showing his awareness of syllables, and Vinnie is identifying the sound of one letter in the alphabet-not the sound of a letter in a word.
