Praxis 5002 Practice Test Practice Question
A group of students work together at a literacy center where the individual letters "p," "i," and "g" are printed on card stock. One student puts the three letters together and says, "I made 'pig'!" The activity best supports which of the following reading skills?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The activity of combining the letters "p," "i," and "g" to form the word "pig" exemplifies blending phonemes to create a word. This skill involves merging individual sounds to form a complete word, which is essential for early reading development.
Option A, building words with onsets, focuses on the initial sounds of words rather than the blending process. Option B, dividing words using syllabication, relates to breaking words into syllables, which is not the task at hand. Option D, segmenting phonemes, involves breaking a word down into its individual sounds, contrary to the blending activity being performed.
