What type of activities are included under phonological awareness?

  1. Written exercises

  2. Oral activities

  3. Visual aids

  4. Group projects

The correct answer is: Oral activities

The choice emphasizing oral activities accurately reflects the nature of phonological awareness. Phonological awareness encompasses the ability to recognize and manipulate sounds in spoken language, which primarily involves auditory skills. Activities that fall under this category include rhyming games, syllable counting, sound matching, and segmenting sounds in words, all of which are fundamentally oral in nature. These activities help develop a child's understanding of how sounds function in language, making them essential for building strong literacy skills. The other choices—written exercises, visual aids, and group projects—often focus on different aspects of reading and literacy development but do not directly target the auditory skill development central to phonological awareness.
