Explanation
Answer: A- If Vinnie needs more help developing his phonemic awareness skills, his teacher should show Vinnie familiar objects and then ask him to first name each object followed by isolating the final sound he hears when naming them. This activity will reinforce the fact that a word that consists of individual sounds represents each object. Phonemic awareness is the knowledge that spoken words are composed of phonemes, which are individual sounds.
