  • C. such as A is for /a/ apple would be the most appropriateA. fluency tests would not normally be given to yr olds, this may start in gradeB. Too advanced,D. phonological awareness begins with babies. this is why they say “goo goo, ga ga” they are recognizing sounds with speech (what they hear, making connections with the world around them and understanding it is translated with actions and into speech)
  • B is not too advanced for some year olds but in general, that is the task that would be the hardest but all tasks but B would be affected. As to D…these skills, by the given definition of phonological processes are gone by five, but like everything else we read, expect some kids to be out of this range.Source(s):
