Five-year-old Chip writes I WN TU B FIRMN WEN I GRO UPP. When you ask him to read what he has written, he says: I want to be a fireman when I grow up. You can reasonably conclude that Chip:

a. Is probably going to need the assistance of a specialist to help him learn to read and write
b. Is showing only preliminary signs of emergent literacy
c. Has acquired considerable phonological awareness
d. Has little or no phonological awareness

Question 2

Phonological awareness can best be described as:

a. A child's ability to hear the individual sounds within a spoken word
b. A child's ability to distinguish between words that sound similar but have different meanings
c. A child's knowledge that people who speak different dialects may pronounce the same word differently
d. A child's ability to describe what letters typically represent different sounds in words and to apply them in sounding out written words
