phonograms

This is an old revision of the document!


Definition

Phonemic awareness allows students to crack the code of the alphabetic principle as they abstract a phoneme they hear and map it to a grapheme (Castel, Rastle, & Nation, 2018). Young readers must learn visual symbols (Byrne, 2005) that correspond to these sounds and how these sound get put together as words.

Phonograms, the rime, or ending part of a syllable bridge phonemic awareness and the alphabetic principle with phonics.

Research

When students can manipulate phonograms they move beyond substituting single phonemes and begin to chunk words (Ehri, 2017).

We see students to start and have a general understanding of spelling and how they learn to read begins to change. Prior to grasping the alphabetic principles young readers learn words through visual clues, memorization or guessing. Once readers however can recognize elements such as phonograms and have a grasp of the alphabetic principle they begin to recognize words through decoding and encoding (Treiman & Kessler, 2014).

In fact phonogram recognition may predict decoding fluency (Hudson et al., 2006)
