Names of the letters and graphonemes of sounds are best known as what?

  1. Alphabet Knowledge

  2. Phonetic Awareness

  3. Phonics

  4. Sound Chart

The correct answer is: Phonics

Phonics is the best term to use when referring to the names of letters and graphemes of sounds because it encompasses all aspects of sound-letter relationships. Alphabet Knowledge, while related, only refers to knowing and recognizing letters of the alphabet. Phonetic Awareness is also related, but it focuses more on the ability to distinguish and manipulate individual sounds in words. Similarly, a Sound Chart is a useful tool for teaching phonics, but it is not the most accurate term to use when describing the concept itself. Therefore, out of the given choices, Phonics is the most suitable term for describing the names of letters and graphemes of sounds.
