The complexities of the English Alphabetic Code: 1. One sound (phoneme) can be represented by one, two, three or four letters: e.g. /a/ a, /f/ ph, /igh/ igh, /oa/ ough 2. One sound can be represented by multiple spelling alternatives (graphemes): e.g. /oa/: o, oa, ow, oe, o-e, eau, ough 3. One grapheme can represent multiple sounds: e.g. ough: /oa/ though, /or/ thought, long /oo/ through, /ou/ plough, /u/ thorough
