Asking Snookie to listen to the word monkey and then orally identify all of the sounds in the word is only appropriate if Snookie has a high sense of phonemic awareness. Phonemic awareness is the knowledge that spoken words are composed of phonemes, which are individual sounds. If she has no sense of phonemic awareness, this activity would be too difficult for her. Knowing how to spell the word is not needed in order to identify the sounds.
