Which term refers to two categories under Phonological Awareness?

Phonemes and Morphemes
Syllables and Graphemes
Semantics and Syntax
Phonics and Phonemic Awareness

The correct answer is: Phonics and Phonemic Awareness

Phonological Awareness encompasses a range of skills that involve the ability to identify and manipulate the sounds of language. Phonics and Phonemic Awareness are two categories under Phonological Awareness. Phonics refers to the understanding of the relationship between sounds and written symbols, while Phonemic Awareness specifically focuses on recognizing and manipulating individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken words. This distinction is crucial in developing foundational skills in reading and spelling. The other options, including Phonemes and Morphemes, Syllables and Graphemes, and Semantics and Syntax, do not directly fall under the umbrella of Phonological Awareness. Phonemes and Morphemes relate more to linguistic structure and meaning, Syllables and Graphemes pertain to larger units of language such as syllables and written symbols, and Semantics and Syntax are more about the meaning and structure of language rather than the specific sound components that Phonological Awareness targets.
