A

understanding the rules of language. Students have to see the letters or words to engage in phonics- focuses on graphemes/letters and their corresponding sounds- written language/print- both visual and auditory- reading and writing letters according to sounds, spelling, patterns, and phonological structureEx. In the word receive, students know the c makes an /s/ sound. They have to look at the letter c and understand that it is followed by an e, i, or y, and therefore, makes an /s/ sound

pH scale definition

A

From the range 7-14, a solution is basic. Whenever the value of pOH is greater than 7, then it is considered basic. At pH 7, the substance or solution is at neutral and means that the concentration of H+ and OH- ion is the same.From the range 1-7, a solution is acidic. So, whenever the value of a pH is less than 7, it is considered acidic.
