| A total of 15 items were included on this task requiring students to delete initial, medial, and final phonemes from words. |
| Then reading instruction programs that emphasize onsets and rimes should be better than those that emphasize phonemes or whole words. |
| If there were minimal pairs, we would have to conclude that voiced and voiceless sonorants are separate phonemes. |
| The unvoiced fricative phonemes stem from the hissing of a steady airstream through the mouth. |
| Like the additional phonemes seen above, the forms in tend to occur only in an extremely decreolized variety of Kriol, as we shall see below. |
| But then, little by little, the words become only sounds, a random collection of glottals and fricatives, a storm of whirling phonemes. |
