THRASS READING - TEACHING NOTESTHRASS® 1

♦ Spoken English has 44 phonemes.♦ There are not 44 letters in the alphabet to represent each of these phonemes. Therefore since there cannot

always be a one-to-one correspondence between phonemes and letters, it is important to think of the 26 letters of the alphabet as only a resource from which letters are selected and combined, according to convention, to represent the different phonemes.

The THRASS PICTURECHART shows the 44 phoneme-boxes with some of their graphemes.

READING - Involves changing graphemes to phonemes.

GRAPH - one letter representing one phoneme

DIGRAPH - two letters representing one phoneme

TRIGRAPH - three letters representing one phoneme

QUADGRAPH - four letters representing one phoneme

DIPHONE - one letter representing two phonemes

GRAPHEMES - graph, digraph trigraph, quadgraph

PHONOGRAPHIC - the relationship between phonemes and graphemes

THE PHONOGRAPHIC RELATIONSHIP♦ Consonant and vowel phonemes are used to make words. For example the word cow.♦ Look at the consonant phoneme-box . Say the phoneme. ♦ Look at the phoneme-box . Say the phoneme. ♦ The word cow has two phonemes: a consonant phoneme, represented by the graph 'c' and a

vowel phoneme, represented by the digraph 'o' 'w'.♦ The graph 'c' was chosen from five possible graphemes. The digraph 'o' 'w' was chosen from two

possible graphemes. ♦ It is understandable that in the absence of the learner not having a clear visual image for the

word cow, spellings such as kow, ckow, chow, qow, cou, kou' are possible.

ow ou ** c k ck ch q

The vowel phoneme ( ow ) represented by the digraph 'o' 'w' in cow is only one of the 20 vowel phonemes of spoken English. ♦ Look at the graphemes on the vowel phoneme-boxes. Note that the graphemes, used to represent

vowel phonemes, do not only use the letters 'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u' - referred to by some people as 'vowel' letters. In fact the letter 'y' is a very common way to represent the vowel phoneme ( ee ) as heard at the end of the word pony. Similarly in the word cow the letter 'w' in combination with the 'o', is representing a vowel phoneme ( ow ).

Note: Phonemes are indicated by brackets ( ) and letter names by apostrophes, ' '. Although werecognise the importance of IPA, we have not used its symbols to denote phonemes, as many people will not be familiar with these. Instead we have used common graphemes (spelling choices).

THRASS READING - TEACHING NOTES THRASS® 2

♦ As you can see from looking at other graphemes in the vowel phoneme-boxes, the letters 'r', 'w' and 'y' do not represent only consonant phonemes.

♦ It is, therefore, misleading to refer to letters as either 'vowel letters' or 'consonant letters', because this suggests that 'vowel letters' only represent vowel phonemes and that 'consonant letters' only represent consonant phonemes. They should be correctly referred to as 'vowel indicators' or 'consonant indicators'.

For example: In the words persuade and language the letter 'u' represents the consonant phoneme ( w ) as in quilt.In the words million and view the letter 'i' represents the consonant phoneme heard at the beginningof the word yawn.In the words horse and house the letter 'e' is part of the consonant digraph 's' 'e', representingthe phoneme ( s ) as in horse.In this context then, it is important to think of the alphabet, as simply a resource of 'letters', that are used to represent phonemes.

Look at the phoneme-box in the second row of consonant phoneme-boxes on the THRASSCHART. Play the Consonant Phoneme Sequence, from the THRASS Raps and Sequences CD, to hear the consonant phoneme that it represents.

When we write one letter to represent a phoneme it is called a graph. For example, the 'j' in jam or the 'g' in giant. When we write two letters to represent a phoneme it is called a digraph. For example, the digraph 'g' 'e' in cage. When we write three letters to represent a phoneme it is called a trigraph. For example, the 'd' 'g' 'e' in bridge. These graphs, digraphs and trigraphs, are called graphemes (or as THRASS calls them, spelling choices). Reading involves changing graphemes to phonemes. For example, when we read the letters 'f', 'f' 'f' and 'p' 'h' in the words fish, coffee and dolphin respectively, we say the same consonant phoneme.

Spelling involves changing phonemes to graphemes. When we spell the same consonant phoneme that was in fish, coffee and dolphin, we use the letters 'f', 'f' 'f' and 'p' 'h' respectively.

* j g ge dge

SPLIT DIGRAPHSIn the word tape', the 'a' 'e' is a split digraph - the two letters represent one vowel phoneme. Split digraphs are also found in the words gate, kite and note, found on the THRASSCHART.

DIPHONES In the words box and mix the letter 'x ' represents two consonant phonemes ( k ) and (s). Therefore, for the letter 'x', learners will need to point underneath the phoneme-boxes and and say the phonemes consecut ive ly . * c k ck ch q * s ss se c ce

In box and mix there are not three phonemes but four (b-o-k-s). The 'x' does not represent one phoneme - it is not a graph. In fact it represents two consonant phonemes (in this case a blend). When one letter such as the 'x' in box represents two phonemes, it is called a diphone. This is why, in ignorance of the correct sequence of letters, learners in their spelling of these words, may understandably allocate a grapheme to each phoneme in the word box, such as in the misspellings, boks and bocks and why the reverse is also possible - spelling such words as books and socks as boox and sox.

THRASS READING - TEACHING NOTESTHRASS® 3

In the words emu, music and tube the letter 'u' represents the consonant phoneme at the start of yawn, and the vowel phoneme in the middle of moon. Therefore, for the letter 'u', learners will need to point underneath the phoneme-boxes and and say the phonemes consecutively. For example, in emu there are not three but four phonemes ( ee - m - y - oo). The 'u' does not represent a phoneme - it is not a graph. It actually represents two phonemes - one a consonant and the other a vowel.

The 120 THRASSWORDS may be introduced and revised in any order. You may wish to introduce them in the order given in this section, or choose to select words containing the graphemes and phonemes found in the names of people, places or particular words.

The most common graphemes have been selected for the THRASSCHART. Graphemes not on the chart are represented in the phoneme-boxes by an asterisk, referred to as a Grapheme Catch-All (GCA).

Example. The first THRASSWORD is bird. It has three phonemes. The consonant phoneme ( b ) is represented by the graph 'b', the vowel phoneme ( er ) is represented by the digraph 'i' 'r' and the consonant phoneme ( d ) by the graph 'd'. Count the number of phonemes in each word by counting the number of phoneme-boxes used. Then say the phonemes in the correct order to make the THRASSWORD.

THRASS READING - TEACHING NOTESTHRASS® 4

♦ Important: Consonant and vowel phonemes are used to make the words of spoken English.

2. SAY, NAME & OVERWRITE SHEETS and SAY, NAME & WRITE SHEETS

♦ Learners listen to the Consonant Phoneme Sequence or the Vowel Phoneme Sequence. When they are familiar with the phoneme-boxes, they say a phoneme before naming and overwriting the grapheme/s in the appropriate box.

♦ These sheets can be used to idenify and to practise the location of

key phonemes, key graphemes and key words.

♦ These sheets can be used to practise the spelling of words, syllables and blends.

IMPORTANT♦ In each phoneme-box there is a grapheme, or graphemes, illustrating how the phoneme may be

represented.♦ Phonemes may be represented by different graphemes and different numbers of graphemes.♦ The Say, Name and Overwrite/Write Sheets are found in the READING SECTION, rather than the

SPELLING SECTION, because the physical act of overwriting graphemes helps the learner to learn/recall and then pronounce the 44 phonemes when reading.

Instructions1. Read the whole word.2. Name and write over the large grey letter/s, (key grapheme), then write the whole word on the line underneath.3. Count the number of phoneme-boxes on the chart and write how many in the 'number of phonemes' square.4. When you can say all of the phonemes in the correct order tick the 'phoneme order' square.5. Match the key grapheme with the small letter/s in the relevant phoneme-box. Consonant phonemes are locatedin boxes on the top half of the chart and vowel phonemes are found in the phoneme-boxes on the bottom half ofthe chart.Write a 'c' or 'v' in the 'consonant or vowel' square to indicate whether the key grapheme represents a consonantor vowel phoneme.6. Is the phoneme represented by one, two or three key letters? Write a 'g', 'd', or 't' (graph, digraph or trigraph)in the square to show your choice.7. Note: Phoneme-boxes that do not contain a grapheme used in the THRASSWORD are 'bricked-in'.

Note: The number of syllables in a word is determined by the number of vowel phonemes. For example the word tiger has two vowel phonemes therefore two syllables.

Grapheme Group

Grapheme Group Words

♦ Learners are given a sheet for a specific grapheme (e.g. a GCA such as the trigraph 'q' 'u' 'e' for

( k ) as in cheque).♦ The grapheme is written in the large phoneme

box.♦ Identify the phoneme-box on the chart and write

the grapheme.♦ Learners recall words, or find words in reading

books, that contain graphemes representing the same phoneme.

♦ Learners build word banks for grapheme groups and keep these sheets for future reference.

3. GRAPHEME GROUP WORDS SHEET

♦ Use the Syllable Set Sheet in a similar way to the Grapheme Group Words Sheet, to record syllables such as -tion as in station o -ttle (as in battle, bottle, little, rattle, wattle).

4. SYLLABLE SET WORDS SHEET

♦ Use the GCA Sheet to record some of the graphemes that appear in words that have not been selected as THRASSWORDS.

Phonemes and graphemes may be introduced and revised in any order. You may wish to introduce the phonemes and graphemes in the order given in the READING SECTION, or choose to select the phonemes and graphemes found in the names of people or places, or in words of your own choosing.

Graphemes that are not on the chart are representedin the phoneme-boxes by an asterisk, known as theGrapheme Catch-All (GCA). GCA
