During an activity using the Picture Word Inductive Model, which skill is LEAST likely to develop?

Oral language development
Using references for spelling
Hearing and recording sounds in words
Blending sounds in words

The correct answer is: Blending sounds in words

The Picture Word Inductive Model (PWIM) is primarily designed to enhance vocabulary development, oral language skills, and the connection between images and words. This model encourages students to observe pictures, identify words, and engage in discussions that foster language use and comprehension. As students articulate their thoughts about the images, they expand their oral language abilities and learn to use words in context. In this context, the development of specific phonological awareness skills, such as blending sounds in words, is not the primary focus of the PWIM. While blending sounds is an important literacy skill often addressed in phonics instruction, it typically requires specific activities aimed at sound manipulation rather than the visual and contextual emphasis of the PWIM. Therefore, while PWIM may incidentally support blending sounds to some extent, it is not structured in a way that prioritizes or thoroughly develops this skill compared to the other options listed, which are more congruent with the intentions of the PWIM approach.
