Encoding refers to which skill in literacy development?

Explanation:
Encoding is the process of turning spoken sounds into written letters, the act of spelling. It relies on knowing which sounds map to which letters or letter combinations. For example, to encode the word “cat,” you map the sounds /k/ /æ/ /t/ to the letters C-A-T. That’s why the option describing translating sounds to print best matches encoding. Other options describe turning print into speech (reading/decoding) or using pictures to convey meaning, or reading aloud to check understanding, which aren’t encoding.
