The Alphabet
Definitions
Phoneme – The smallest unit of sound in a word.
Grapheme – What we write to represent a sound/phoneme – this
can be one, two or three letters.
GPC - This is short for Grapheme Phoneme Correspondence.
Knowing a GPC means being able to match a phoneme to a
grapheme and vice versa.
Definitions
Oral Blending - Hearing a series of spoken sounds and merging
(blending) them together to make a spoken word.
Blending - Recognising the letter sounds in a written word, for
example c-u-p, and blending them in the correct order.
Definitions
Oral Segmenting - This is the act hearing a whole word and then splitting it
up into the phonemes that make it.
Segmenting - This involves hearing a word, splitting it up into the
phonemes that make it, using knowledge of GPCs to work out which
graphemes represent those phonemes and then writing those graphemes
down in the right order. This is the basis of spelling.
Definitions
Diagraph – Two letters that make one sound.
Trigraph – Three letters that make one sound.
Split Diagraph – Diagraph that has a letter in the middle for
example a_e as in make.
