Understanding that letters correspond to sounds is part of:

  1. Phonemic awareness

  2. Syntax

  3. Semantics

  4. Onset-rime awareness

The correct answer is: Phonemic awareness

Phonemic awareness is the understanding that letters correspond to sounds. This skill is crucial for developing reading and spelling abilities. Phonemic awareness involves being able to hear, identify, and manipulate individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken words. Syntax refers to the structure of sentences and how words are combined to form them. Semantics is related to the meaning of words and sentences. Onset-rime awareness involves the ability to segment spoken words into the initial consonant or consonant blend (onset) and the remaining vowel and final consonant (rime).
