Pseudoword
Phoneme
Rhyme
Segmentation

The correct answer is: Pseudoword

A pseudoword refers to a pronounceable string of letters that does not have any actual meaning in a given language. These types of words are often used in literacy and reading assessments to evaluate phonemic awareness and decoding skills, as they require students to apply their knowledge of letter-sound relationships without relying on their vocabulary knowledge. By using pseudowords, educators can accurately assess a student's ability to decode and process sounds in words without the influence of prior knowledge of real words. This makes pseudowords a valuable tool in reading instruction and assessment.
