Responses should include one of the following:
• Print concepts involve knowledge associated with printed language. Mastery of this concept includes knowledge of directionality, concepts of word or letter, book handling, voice-print matching, and punctuation.
• Phonological and phonemic awareness
- Phonological awareness includes hearing and manipulating parts of spoken language.
- Phonemic awareness refers to the ability to focus on and manipulate phonemes in spoken words.
- Children who have mastered this concept display knowledge that language can be broken down into smaller units.
- Development: perception of individual words, discernment of the syllables within spoken words, awareness of onset and rime, become conscious of individual phonemes in spoken words, develop the ability to manipulate phonemes.
• Letter-name knowledge involves knowing the names of the letters. Children who know the names of the letters have an easier time learning to read than those who don't. Letter-naming fluency is a predictor of a child's reading fluency.
