If you were speaking at an inservice meeting, which of the following would you not tell other teachers

Question

A. It is a sound procedure to encourage use of invented (i.e., temporary) spelling, when necessary. One of the reasons this is so is that phonemic awareness develops when youngsters must think about the sounds they are hearing in order to write letters.
B. Many of the activities that research has shown to be successful in helping to increase students' phonemic awareness have been deliberately designed to be game-like and playful to sustain students' interests.
C. Elkonin boxes assist in phonemic segmentation activities, which, in turn, help students hear individual sounds in words, note sounds in the correct sequence, and associate sounds with printed letters.
D. Phonemic awareness is the recognition that written words can be broken into their constituent sounds. Thus, tests of whether students have phonemic awareness seek to determine, if given single written letters, students can blend these into words.
