The word 'cat' has three phonemes.
Spelling: Phonemes
Time for a KS2 English spelling quiz, focusing on phonemes! A phoneme is a single language sound. 'Cat' has three phonemes - 'c', 'a', and 't'. A grapheme is a letter or combo of letters that spells a phoneme. The 'c' sound in 'cat' can also be 'k' in 'kettle' or 'ck' in 'brick'. Learning phonics helps with spelling.
Play this quiz on phonemes and the one on graphemes for a complete understanding of the differences!
