Phonics chart
Every letter sound, digraph or vowel team on one page, each with a picture word. Keep one beside homework, on the fridge, or on the classroom wall.
Sounds
Print in
One page, 26 sounds. Vowel sounds are in red, as on most classroom charts.
How to use a phonics chart
Point to a sound and say it together, then the picture word: “sh, ship”. Say the sound, not the letter’s name, and keep it short: “mmm”, not “muh”.
When your child is writing and gets stuck on a sound, ask them to find it on the chart rather than telling them. Looking it up is how the spelling sticks.
Start with the letter sounds a to z, then digraphs (two letters, one sound, like sh and th), then vowel teams and silent e, the order most phonics programs teach them.
