Phonological Awareness Practice Test

Core idea: changing just one phoneme in a word to make a new word. The final sound in dog is the consonant /g/. If you swap that ending sound for /t/, you pronounce /dɒt/ (dot). So dot is the word formed by substituting the final sound. The other options would require altering something other than the last sound—for example, keeping /g/ or changing the vowel—so they don’t fit the instruction of replacing only the final phoneme.
