Knowledge of letter-sound correspondences is essential in reading and writing
- In order to read a word:
- the learner must recognize the letters in the word and associate each letter with its sound
- In order to write or type a word:
- the learner must break the word into its component sounds and know the letters that represent these sounds.
Knowledge of letter-sound correspondences and phonological awareness skills are the basic building blocks of literacy learning.
These skills are strong predictors of how well students learn to read.
