Wisconsin FORT (Foundations of Reading) Practice Test

Phoneme Segmentation involves:

1. Blending sounds to form a word

2. Removing a sound from a word

3. Identifying and separating individual sounds in a word

4. Adding a sound to a word

The correct answer is: Identifying and separating individual sounds in a word

Phoneme Segmentation involves identifying and separating individual sounds in a word. In this process, students are asked to break down words into their individual phonemes or sounds. This skill is crucial for developing reading and spelling proficiency as it helps students understand the relationship between letters and sounds in words. Blending sounds to form a word, removing a sound from a word, and adding a sound to a word, as mentioned in the other options, are not processes typically associated with phoneme segmentation.
