Sounds
There are 44 sounds in the English language
X 44
04/18/23
Graphemes A grapheme is a squiggle or mark that
tells us what sound to make – they are sounds written down
They are like a code – when we read words, we are working out the code
We use the code to read & to spell
Cracking the codeThe word cat has these graphemes (marks or
squiggles):
c a t
when we say them fast, we get:
c a t (we call this blending the sounds)
the whole word is cat 04/18/23
Sounds, words & pictures

Learning to crack the code Children have to learn the “secret code”
so that they can read any word we teach them how to say the 44 sounds we teach them what the sound looks like
when it is written down we teach them how to blend the sounds to
make a word we teach them to read & spell words using
the code
