Assignment 1 - 4

Print Awareness Assessment:  Pre-test 80% and Post-test 90%

On the pre-test I did not focus on what I was doing.  On the question about which is an example of print awareness, I thought the selection said "reading" Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and I choice all the above.  It actually said leading the song.  Of course leading a song is not print awareness. On the second one I missed, I thought I had clicked the right answer, but I clicked the one below it by accident.  On the post-test, I did a little confused.  I though pictures were apart of print awareness like the example of the McDonald's sign.  I guess the key word in that problem was "is different from".

Speech Assessment:  Pre-test 90% and Post test 100%
My son receives speech services and from personal experience with him, I have learned about the importance of speech and phonemes and phonics with learning how to read.


Phonemic Assessment:  Pre-test 80% and Post-test 100%
The definitions for phonemic awareness and phonological awareness are very similar.  They both state hearing, identifying and manipulating.  However phonological awareness is the onsets and rimes and phonemic is discrete individual sounds.

Phonics Assessment:  Pre-test 80%  and Post -test 90%
One one question, I thought the answer choice with "separate word into sound" was talking about word segmentation with is phonemic.  However it did say "and writing letters for these sounds" which is phonics.  The other question I missed, I just forgot to go back and answer.  On the post-test, I missed that the letter A was a grapheme.  I know know that a grapheme is written language and phoneme is spoken language.
