Phonemes, consonant digraphs, phoneme substitution, and decoding strategies — tested on the R&W subtest in classroom application context.
During reading group, a student with dyslexia frequently skips lines while reading. Which accommodation would be MOST effective for this specific challenge?
Paraeducators regularly support early and struggling readers with phonics instruction. ETS 5758 tests whether you understand the phonics concepts you may need to teach or reinforce. Three topics are covered: phonemes and syllables (the individual sound units in spoken words — /b/ in bat, two syllables in ap-ple), grade-level phonics and word analysis (digraphs like sh/ch/th, consonant blends like str/bl, vowel teams like ea/oi/ay), and supporting text-based discussions about phonics concepts in a classroom context.
This drill includes questions from all three ETS phonics topics: phoneme identification, syllable counting, digraph and blend recognition, and vowel pattern identification. Questions are framed in classroom application context — a paraeducator working with a student who struggles with a specific sound pattern. About one-third of phonics questions require you to identify whether a student's error reflects a specific phonics gap.
