Questões de Concurso

During an activity involving names, an English teacher notices that some children assume that the name of a letter corresponds directly to the sound that the letter represents in every word. The teacher therefore develops playful listening activities involving letter names and familiar vocabulary.
Considering the relationship between English letter names and pronunciation, mark T, for true, and F, for false.

(__) The name of the letter "B" begins with the consonant sound found at the beginning of "ball."
(__) When pronounced as the name of the letter, "G" begins with the same consonant sound heard at the beginning of "game."
(__) The name of the letter "J" begins with the same consonant sound found at the beginning of "juice."
(__) Activities involving alphabet knowledge can distinguish letter names from sounds occurring in words without requiring formal phonetic terminology from children.


After analysis, select the alternative that presents the CORRECT sequence of the items above, from top to bottom. 

As part of an oral discrimination activity, the teacher contrasts pairs such as "shipsheep" and "sitseat." The words are presented without written support, and children identify which word they hear by selecting the corresponding picture.
