The three complexities of the English Alphabetic Code:
OdpovědětVymazat1. One, two, three or four letters can be code for one phoneme (sound):
e.g. /s/ s as in ‘sat’, /f/ ph as in ‘graph’, /igh/ igh as in ‘night’, /ai/ eigh as in ‘eight’
2. Most phonemes (sounds) can be represented by different graphemes (letters and letter groups):
e.g. the /oa/ sound can be represented by: o, oa, ow, oe, o-e, eau, ough.
3. Some graphemes can be code for more than one phoneme:
e.g. ‘ough’ can be code for: /oa/ in though, /u/ in borough, /ou/ in plough, /or/ in thought, long /oo/ in through Copyright Phonics International Ltd 2011
