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,Joa/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':loa/though,/or/thought,/ool through,lou/plough,/u/thorough
