Phoneme manipulation is the most advanced form of phonemic
awareness. These activities require children to add or substitute phonemes in words:
■ Phoneme addition. Say a word and then say it again with a phoneme added at the
beginning (an > fan) or end (an > ant).
■ Phoneme deletion. Say a word and then say it again without the initial (farm > arm)
or ending (farm > far) sound.
■ Phoneme substitution. Substitute initial sounds in lyrics of familiar songs (Fe-Fi-
Fiddly-i-o > De-Di-Diddly-i-o)

Five if a diphthong is one phoneme, but six if it's two: /fəʊniːm/
Yes, a phoneme is the smallest unit of sound that can distinguish meaning in a language. Changing a phoneme can result in a different word or meaning.
The relevant features of a phoneme include articulatory features (such as manner and place of articulation), voicing, and nasalization. These features help distinguish one phoneme from another in a language.
The word "around" contains four phoneme sounds: /əˈraʊnd/.

The word "around" contains four phoneme sounds: /əˈraʊnd/.
Words that differ by only one phoneme are called minimal pairs.
The word "phoneme" contains the following phonemes: /f/, /o/, /n/, /i/, /m/.
The decision on which phoneme is standard and which are its allophones depends on the distribution of sounds in a language. If two sounds do not contrast in a way that changes the meaning of a word, they are likely allophones of the same phoneme. Analyzing minimal pairs and complementary distribution can help identify the standard phoneme and its allophones.
Allophone is any speech sound that represents a single phoneme. The K in kit and skit are allophones of the phoneme K.
The phoneme /ŋ/ is rarely found in the final position of words in English.
