alleryRhymes and first-sound games help children relate:
APoems and folk songs
BSpoken and written codes
CHeights and weights
DMarks and class ranks
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Spoken and written codes
1. Beginning literacy is helped by oral pre-literacy activities.
2. Rhymes and commonalities of first sounds in names or words are examples.
3. These develop the child's ability to relate spoken and written language codes.
4. Poems, heights and ranks are not what is related.
**Why not the others:** Poems and folk songs are texts, not codes, and heights, weights, marks and ranks have nothing to do with sound-letter links.
