At what level of phonemic awareness do children substitute one phoneme for another to make a new word?

  1. Phoneme Addition

  2. Phoneme Categorization

  3. Phoneme Segmentation

  4. Phoneme Substitution

The correct answer is: Phoneme Addition

Phoneme addition refers to the ability to add a phoneme to an existing word to create a new word. In this case, the correct answer is phoneme substitution, where children substitute one phoneme for another to create a new word. This process is crucial for developing phonemic awareness skills and understanding how changes in phonemes can alter the meaning of words. Phoneme categorization involves grouping phonemes based on their shared characteristics, and phoneme segmentation involves breaking words down into individual phonemes.
