LETRS MODULE Final
phoneme - ANSWERin language, the smallest distinctive sound unit
Grapheme - ANSWERthe written or printed representation of a phoneme
Phonics - ANSWERThe predictable relationship between phonemes and graphemes
Phonemic Awareness - ANSWERThe ability to hear, identify,and manipulate the individual sounds,
phonemes, in oral language.
phonological awareness - ANSWERthe ability to reflect on and manipulate the sound structure of spoken
language
syllable - ANSWERa word part that contains a vowel, or, in spoken language, a vowel sound.
Onset and Rime - ANSWER-Parts of spoken language that are smaller than syllables but larger than
phonemes
-Onset is the initial consonant(s) sound of a syllable (the b- of bag; the sw- of swim)
-Rime is the part of the syllable that contains the vowel and all that follows it (the -ag of bag; the -im of

the sound that is the same in pig, pot, and pie (/p/)."
, phoneme categorization - ANSWERrecognize a word with a sound that does not match the sounds in
other words (bus,bun,rug) = rug
phoneme blending - ANSWERcombining phonemes to make a word (b-i-g)
phoneme segmentation - ANSWERbreaking a word into separate sounds and counting them
phoneme deletion - ANSWERbeing able to identify a sound that has been deleted from a word (smile
without s is mile)
phoneme addition - ANSWERmake a new word by adding a phoneme to an existing word park-spark
adding s
phoneme substitution - ANSWERSubstitute one phoneme for another to make a new word (Example-
the word is 'bug'. Change the /g/ to /n/. What's the new word? Bun)
Phonemic reversal - ANSWERReversing the first and last sound
Phonology - ANSWERthe study of speech sounds in language
