Which indicator demonstrates knowledge of the alphabet by identifying and naming letters?

• A. Objective 15
• B. Objective 17
• C. Identifies and names letters
• D. Produces sounds

Answer: (C)

The main idea is recognizing and naming the symbols that make up the alphabet. The indicator that does this is the one that states identifying and naming letters. It directly describes knowing the alphabet by seeing a letter and being able to say its name. Producing sounds, while related to letter knowledge, focuses on phoneme production rather than naming the letter itself. The references to objective numbers are just labels and don’t specify the concrete skill of naming letters, so they don’t fit as precisely. An example of the correct behavior would be a child looking at a letter like A and saying “A.” This demonstrates clear knowledge of the alphabet through recognition and name recall.
