Alternative Spellings for Known Sounds
已知读音的其他拼写方式
Description
Recognise alternative grapheme-phoneme correspondences for known phonemes (e.g., /dʒ/ as ge/dge/g, /s/ as c, /n/ as kn/gn, /r/ as wr, /ʒ/ as s), reading words with less common spellings for familiar sounds
Mastery Evidence
- Read words with less common spellings for familiar sounds: 'badge', 'giraffe', 'city', 'knock', 'gnaw', 'write', 'treasure'
- Identify that the same phoneme can be represented by different graphemes (e.g., /dʒ/ spelled g, ge, dge)
- Select the correct alternative GPC to decode an unfamiliar word in context
Assessment Prompt
Does your child know that the /j/ sound can be spelled different ways — like in 'jump', 'cage', and 'bridge' — and can they read words with these less common spellings?
