Which of the following students is demonstrating the specific type of phonological awareness known as phonemic awareness?
  1. A student who, after being shown a letter of the alphabet, can orally identify its corresponding sound(s).
  2. A student who listens to the words sing, ring, fling, and hang and can identify that hang is different..
  3. A student who, after hearing the word hat, can orally identify that it ends with the sound /t/.
  4. A student who listens to the word magazine and can determine that it contains three syllables.
Explanation
Correct Response: C. Phonemic awareness is the recognition that spoken words are made up of phonemes—the discrete speech sounds of a language. Identifying the final sound (or phoneme) in a word demonstrates phonemic awareness. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because the skills described, identifying the sound corresponding to a letter (A), recognizing rhyming words (B), and counting syllables in a word (D), can be performed without the ability to distinguish separate phonemes in a spoken word.
