Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Children will learn about phonemes during phonics, the study of sounds. For instance, they might learn how the word ‘dog’ is made up of three phonemes: /d/, /o/ and /g/.

Detailed explanation-2: -It is a letter or letter combination that represents a single phoneme within a word. A grapheme is a spelling of a phoneme. Digraphs are graphemes spelled with more than one letter, usually two. We need many digraphs because English has more phonemes (42) than letters (26).

Detailed explanation-3: -For example, the word “shin” has three phonemes: “sh” “i” and “n."
