Help with Graphemes

Submitted by Carmen (06-11-2012)

« Back to Ask a Teaching Question

Hi,
My son is in year 2 and I am seeking help with Grapheme Words at home. I have read what you have and sort of understand, but don't feel confident in helping him with his homework in case I teach him something wrong. I am not sure how to put some of the words he has been asked to demonstrate a grapheme into place ie. grabbing . Thank you for your assistance.

Hi
I think you are asking how to match phonemes with graphemes. First, sound out the word by saying all of the sounds (not letters) that you hear. Count how many. Then, write the matching grapheme for each phoneme (I use a grid). So the word grabbing would have phonemes /g/r/a (short as in ant)/b/i (short as in tin)/ng (as in king). The graphemes would be g - r - a - bb - i -ng. This can be done with any word.
I hope that helps.

  • One of the best ways to find children\'s strengths is to ask the other children. If you play the \"hot seat game\", where you ask the children to describe another, with no name given, just good things about them, you often learn all sorts of things that you didn\'t know were happening. Also I often get the child with a particular \"strength\" to go off and assist a buddy who needs help along those lines- makes for a very interesting conversation. After a while, everyone knows that ***** is good at blending, so they go and ask for help. Makes lots of smiles all over. what a clever woman you are to ask for strengths, when you yourself are feeling a little low. You need your own magic stick. It\'s one of those wands with glitter inside, when you shake it, you see the glitter feel happy and smile. Holding this stick many of my children have found the answer using the magic from the stick. Well done. Barbara.
