Which is a key component of the Phonemic Spelling stage?

  1. Drawing pictures instead of writing words

  2. Forming complete sentences

  3. Using letter manipulation to form sounds

  4. Recognizing sight words

The correct answer is: Using letter manipulation to form sounds

In the Phonemic Spelling stage, children are focusing on understanding the relationship between letters and sounds. The key component of this stage is using letter manipulation to form sounds. This involves the ability to break down words into individual phonemes and represent those sounds with corresponding letters. By manipulating letters to form different sounds, students are developing their phonemic awareness and beginning to understand the building blocks of spelling and reading. Drawing pictures instead of writing words (option A), forming complete sentences (option B), and recognizing sight words (option D) are not specific activities associated with the Phonemic Spelling stage, making them incorrect choices.
