<strong>The</strong> complexities of the English <strong>Alphabetic</strong> <strong>Code</strong> include:<br />
1. one sound (phoneme) can be represented by one, two, three or four letters: e.g. k, sh, ng, igh, eigh<br />
2. one sound can be represented by multiple spellings (graphemes): e.g. /oa/ is represented by o, oa, ow, oe, o-e, eau, ough<br />
3. one spelling can represent multiple sounds: e.g. ‘ough’: /oa/ though, /or/ thought, /oo/ through, /ou/ plough, /u/ thorough<br />
grey area shows graphemes formally introduced in units 1 - 5 of<br />
