Phonemes are the smallest unit of sounds that distinguish one word from another. One or more characters may represent them, and there are 44 phonemes in the English language. Examples include PH, NG, and TH. This practice set will help you learn to sound out words as you head-copy words letter-by-letter. As you practice, try to say the sound of the letter(s) in your head as opposed to the individual letters. This approach will help you avoid having a lookup table of letters and sounds. Unfortunately, spelling is complicated, and some letter combinations represent multiple sounds. An example is NG, which is used to represent two different phonemes as in BRING and LOUNGE.

First, the phoneme is sent in Morse code. Then it is spoken. And finally, it is sent again in Morse code. If you missed something the first time when it was sent, the second time allows you an opportunity to learn it.
