What occurs in the graphophonic component of writing?

Students learn about grammar rules
Students learn sound formation has multiple representations
Students learn about narrative structure
Students learn writing styles

The correct answer is: Students learn sound formation has multiple representations

The graphophonic component of writing focuses on the relationship between sounds and their corresponding letters or groups of letters. In this context, students learn that sound formation can be represented in various ways through different spellings and phonetic patterns. This understanding allows them to see that a single phoneme can be represented by multiple graphemes, such as how the sound /f/ can be spelled as "f," "ff," or "ph." This is essential for developing phonemic awareness and ultimately aids in reading and writing proficiency. The other components listed—grammar rules, narrative structure, and writing styles—do not specifically pertain to the graphophonic aspect, which is primarily concerned with sound-letter correspondence rather than the broader rules or structures of language and writing.
