Question
Answer
morpheme   The smallest unit of meaning in our language.  
🗑
Phoneme Isolation/separate   Recognizing individual sounds in words. (example: What is the first sound in boy?)  
🗑
Phoneme Identity or detection   Hearing the same sound in different words (example: What sound is the same in boy, bake, and butter?)  
🗑
Phoneme segmentation   Breaking a spoken word into separate speech sounds (example: Say the sounds you hear in cup slowly)  
🗑
Phoneme addition   The ability to create a new word by adding a phoneme. (example: If I add the sound /s/ to the end of the word tree, what word do I have?)  
🗑
Grapheme   The symbol or symbols (letters) representing the phoneme.  
🗑
Vowel digraphs   Two vowel letters that make a single sound (examples: ea as in meal; ai as in pain; oa as in boat)
