What is a phonogram?

  1. A common spelling pattern used to spell the rime of a group of single-syllable words

  2. A single letter representing a sound

  3. A combination of two consonants creating a single sound

  4. A tool for teaching phonemic awareness

The correct answer is: A common spelling pattern used to spell the rime of a group of single-syllable words

A phonogram is a common spelling pattern used to spell the rime of a group of single-syllable words. This knowledge is important for students as they learn how to decode words and recognize familiar patterns in spelling. Option B is not correct because a phonogram typically consists of a group of letters representing a sound rather than a single letter. Option C is not correct because a phonogram is a specific spelling pattern, not a combination of two consonants creating a single sound. Option D is not correct because while phonograms are related to phonemic awareness, they are specifically patterns in spelling rather than a tool for teaching phonemic awareness.
