Phoneme-Grapheme Mapping

The relationship between speech sounds (phonemes) and their written representations (graphemes), which is foundational to reading in alphabetic writing systems. Mastering phoneme-grapheme mapping — the alphabetic principle — is essential for fluent word recognition and a key area of difficulty for people with dyslexia. Reading support technologies may address phoneme-grapheme mapping through tools like PhonoBlocks (tangible letter blocks), read-aloud features with synchronized highlighting, or interactive phonics games.
