    On the other hand, phonics advocates say that most words are decodable, so comparatively few words have to be memorized. And because a child will over time encounter many low-frequency words, "the phonological recoding mechanism is a very powerful, indeed essential, mechanism throughout reading development". [72]

    This is quite significant because it proves the existence of (,)-list-decodable codes of good rate with a list-decoding radius much larger than . In other words, the Johnson bound rules out the possibility of having a large number of codewords in a Hamming ball of radius slightly greater than d 2 {\displaystyle {\tfrac {d}{2}}} which means that ...

  5. Prefix code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefix_code

    A prefix code is a uniquely decodable code: given a complete and accurate sequence, a receiver can identify each word without requiring a special marker between words. However, there are uniquely decodable codes that are not prefix codes; for instance, the reverse of a prefix code is still uniquely decodable (it is a suffix code), but it is not ...

    Let each source symbol from the alphabet = {,, …,} be encoded into a uniquely decodable code over an alphabet of size with codeword lengths ,, …,. Then = Conversely, for a given set of natural numbers ,, …, satisfying the above inequality, there exists a uniquely decodable code over an alphabet of size with those codeword lengths.

    Reading is the process of taking in the sense or meaning of symbols, often specifically those of a written language, by means of sight or touch. [1] [2] [3] [4]For educators and researchers, reading is a multifaceted process involving such areas as word recognition, orthography (spelling), alphabetics, phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, comprehension, fluency, and motivation.
