Graphemes and Phonemes Concepts

The video tutorial by Shaheen on the 'Teach Unique Minds' channel explains two key phonics terms: phonemes and graphemes. Phonemes are the sounds that letters make, and there are 44 phonemes in the English language, represented by 26 letters. Graphemes are the letters or groups of letters that represent these sounds. The video provides examples of one-letter, two-letter, and three-letter graphemes and explains how to count phonemes and graphemes in words. The tutorial concludes with an invitation for viewers to ask questions and subscribe for more educational content.
