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?
Answer Choices
- A: Building words with onsets
- B: Dividing words using syllabication
- C: Blending phonemes to make words
- D: Segmenting phonemes to make words
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Combining /p/, /i/, /g/ to form 'pig' is phoneme blending. It's not onset building, syllabication, or segmenting, making C correct.
