EGRA: Identification of the Initial Sound of a Spoken Word - Share of students with a zero score (%). English. 6th Grade

Share of students who could not identify the initial sound of any word read aloud to the student by the assessor (%). For example, the assessors ask students questions like “What is the first sound in the word ‘map’?" and record the number of initial letters the students could identify within one minute. This EGRA subtask is a test of phonemic awareness -- the ability to identify, separate, and manipulate sounds in words.
