2. pHONEME A phoneme is the smallest distinctive unit of sound that changes the meaning of a word. (e.g., “top” and “mop” differ by only one phoneme, but the meaning changes). Any of the perceptually distinct units of sound in a specified language that distinguish one word from another, for example p, b, d, and t in the English words pad, pat, bad, and bat. The phonemes /k/, /a/ and /t / together make the word “Cat” . Phonemes vary across languages as sounds that are phonemes in one language might not be in another . Letter sounds without letters.

3. PHONICS P honics is a method of teaching reading and writing by connecting sounds (phonemes) with letters (graphemes). Instructional practices that emphasize how spellings are related to speech sounds in systematic ways . It helps children hear, identify and use different sounds that distinguish one word from another Phonics is also known as the alphabetic principle or the alphabetic code . Letter sounds with letters.

4. Feature Phonemes Phonics Focus Sounds in spoken language Relationship between sounds and letters Definition Smallest unit of sound that distinguishes words Method to teach reading/writing by connecting sounds with letters Example /k/, /æ/, /t/ in 'cat‚ c, a, t represent /k/, /æ/, /t/ in 'cat' Skill Phonemic awareness Decoding words by matching sounds with letters

5. Phonological awareness A wareness that a word is made out of sounds; and the ability to hear, identify and manipulate these sounds. Sounds exist at three levels of structure: syllables, onsets, rimes and phonemes. Phonological awareness is a broad term that refers to a child's/person’s ability to recognize and manipulate the sounds in spoken language . Strong phonological awareness is a strong predictor of later reading success . It helps children: Break words into smaller units (syllables, onsets and rimes, phonemes ). Blend sounds together to form words . Manipulate sounds to create new words.

6. It can sometimes be called an “umbrella term” because it can be broken down into two separate groups: Phonological Sensitivity and Phonemic Awareness. Phonological Sensitivity is the ability to hear and manipulate units of language that are larger than phonemes, including words, syllables and rhymes. I have a cate. = 4 words Caterpillar = 4 syllables Cat/Bat = Rhyme Phonemic Awareness is the ability to hear and manipulate phonemes in spoken words. There are 44 phonemes in English language. /k/ /a/ /t/ = cat = 3 phonemes Phonemes are written with slashes on the sides.

7. Phonemic Awareness P honemic awareness is the ability to identify and manipulate individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken words. S trong phonemic awareness is crucial for early reading success. It helps children: D ecode words by sounding them out. S pell words by identifying the sounds. U nderstand the structure of language.

8. PHONEME ISOLATION Phoneme isolation is the abililty
