At what level of phonemic awareness do children recognize individual sounds in a word?

  1. Isolation level

  2. Phoneme blending level

  3. Sound counting level

  4. Word recognition level

The correct answer is: Isolation level

At the isolation level of phonemic awareness, children are able to recognize individual sounds in a word. This means that they can identify and isolate each sound in a word, rather than blending or counting sounds together. Option B (phoneme blending level) refers to the next level of awareness, where children are able to blend individual sounds together to make a word. Option C (sound counting level) also refers to a higher level of awareness, where children are able to count the number of sounds in a word. Option D (word recognition level) is not related to phonemic awareness, as it refers to the ability to recognize and read a whole word as a single unit.
