· The consonant phoneme at the beginning of a word is called a onset, while the vowel and consonants that follow the onset are called rime.
· Phonogram is another term for the rime in a syllable.
This chunk of reading was all on Onsets and Rimes. Onsets and Rimes are basically just the names for the different portions of a word. I remember learning about these as a kid, but had completely forgotten about them. These could come in handy while teaching students on how to split words into different sounds. I will need to be conscious of this while teaching because I will want to make sure that my student’s split the words in the correct place.
I'm glad this served as a reminder of learning in your past. What are some authentic reasons WHY children should know how to split words? Do we ever want them to be splitting words just for busy-work???
