Who can understand all the jargon that's being tossed around in education these days? Why is there a word for everything, and why do they have to be so confusing? Consider all the similar terms that have to do with the sounds of spoken words -- phonics, phonetic spelling, phoneme awareness, phonological awareness, and phonology - all of them share the same "phon" root, so they are easy to confuse, but they are definitely different, and each, in its way, is very important in reading education. It is worthwhile to spend some time discussing these different "phon" terms, and elucidate differences among these different concepts.
