Phonemic awareness is a prerequisite to which activity?

  1. Grammar

  2. Reading

  3. Speaking

  4. Writing

The correct answer is: Reading

Phonemic awareness is the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate individual sounds in spoken words. It is essential for developing reading skills because it helps learners understand the relationship between letters and sounds. By being able to recognize and work with individual sounds in words, students can decode words more easily when reading. This ability directly supports the development of reading skills, making reading the correct answer. The other options, such as grammar, speaking, and writing, do not rely as heavily on phonemic awareness to the same extent as reading does.
