Another useful phonogram/sound chart can be found at The Phonics Institute. And this one is also nice at The Sounds of English. Phonics Lesson 29

The use of Unified Pronouncing Print (UPP) is another way to continue improving your reading, spelling, and pronunciation abilities. Another good resource for learning how to sound out multi-syllabic words is Webster's Blue Backed Speller, or The American Spelling Book, free online from Don Potter's Education Page. It is especially useful for figuring out which vowel sounds will mush to the schwa sound of uh as it lists words by accent, and unaccented syllables are more likely to mush to the schwa sound. As a bonus, it can also be used for spelling practice. You can also find books divided into syllables based on the rules outlined in Webster's Speller. I have found these books helpful for both beginning and remedial students. Yet another good resourse for word practice is Martin Carbone's list of 9,000 phonetically regular English words, compiled with the help of Alan Beale's dictionary lists. A final review that also helps overcome the guessing habit of looking at words by their shape is Don Potter's Blend Phonics Reader. | |
