Phonological Awareness is broken down into which two categories?

  1. Phonics and Phonemic Awareness

  2. Rimes and Onsets

  3. Vowels and Consonants

  4. Syllables and Phonemes

The correct answer is: Phonics and Phonemic Awareness

Phonological Awareness is a crucial skill for developing readers, and it is composed of two main categories: Phonics and Phonemic Awareness. Phonics refers to the relationship between letters and sounds, while Phonemic Awareness is the ability to identify, manipulate, and work with individual sounds in words. This distinction is important as Phonics involves the application of rules about the sounds that letters make, while Phonemic Awareness is more about the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate individual sounds in spoken words. The other options provided do not accurately represent the two main categories that make up Phonological Awareness.
