Understanding Graphemes and Phonemes: The Key to Reading and Spelling Words

Grapheme refers to a written symbol or a group of written symbols that represent a single phoneme, which is the smallest unit of sound in a language. In other words, graphemes are the written forms of phonemes.
For example, the letter "c" can represent different phonemes depending on the context in which it is used. In the word "cat," the letter "c" represents the phoneme /k/, but in the word "cell," it represents the phoneme /s/. So, "c" is a grapheme that can represent two different phonemes.
Understanding the relationship between graphemes and phonemes is important for learning to read and spell words in a language.
