Praxis Exam 5001 Practice Question
A teacher asks students what word would be created if the "b" in the word "ball" were changed to a "L" Which of the following phonemic awareness skills is being assessed?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Changing the "b" in "ball" to an "l" involves altering a specific sound within the word, which exemplifies phoneme manipulation. This skill requires students to recognize and modify individual phonemes to create new words.
Option A, phonemic blending, involves combining sounds to form a word, rather than changing a sound. Option B, phonemic segmentation, focuses on breaking a word into its individual sounds, not altering them. Option C, phoneme deletion, entails removing a sound from a word, which is not applicable here since a sound is being replaced, not removed. Thus, the task clearly assesses phoneme manipulation.
