Preschool teacher Mrs. Simonton knows that early phonemic awareness training often means the difference between later reading success and failure. Which of the following strategies is appropriate for an early childhood classroom?
  1. Singing the ABC song and pointing to the letters
  2. Worksheets that reinforce letter recognition
  3. Reading and singing nursery rhymes and playing games that teach alliteration, rhymes, and beginning and ending sounds
  4. Silent reading
Explanation
Answer: C-Phonemic awareness instruction in early childhood classrooms should include reading and singing nursery rhymes and playing games that teach alliteration, rhymes, and beginning and ending sounds. The focus should be on learning to hear and manipulate the sounds, rather than letter recognition, which often has no meaning for young children.
