Phonograms, phonemes, spelling and decoding rules,
phonemic awareness and pronunciation exercises — PhonicsTutor Phonogram
Flashcards have it all! To be used for beginning readers, remedial
reading programs, spelling instruction, self-learning, and ESL/EFL
students.
PhonicsTutor Phonogram Flashcards provide a convenient
way for teachers, parents, and tutors to teach and assess a student’s
understanding of phonics. Knowing which letter or group of letters
represent a phoneme in a word is fundamental to phonics instruction. A
phonogram is a letter or a group of letters that represent a phoneme in
a word. A phoneme is an irreducible contrasting unit in the sound system
of a language. Knowing the common phonemes that a phonogram represents
in the order of usage frequency is the key to identifying the most
likely pronunciations of an unfamiliar word. Decoding rules determine or
further limit the possible pronunciations. Encoding rules preclude many
spelling errors. Knowing when a multi-letter phonogram divides into
separate phonograms forming blends or a syllable division preclude
decoding errors for many common words. Many other Orton or
Orton-Gillingham flashcards have 70-72 phonograms and thus do not
explain how to decode many common words when multi-letter phonograms
divide. The PhonicsTutor curriculum has always had a complete
coverage of English spelling patterns.
The ability to hear a word and say it the same way is a
critical skill for most students to learn phonemic awareness.
PhonicsTutor Phonogram Flashcards use minimal pairs and other
contrasting words to help students hear and identify which phoneme is
said and where it is said in a word. This skill is essential for all
aspects of spelling and reading. Without phonemic awareness the
cognitive elements of phonics instruction such as spelling and syllable
rules, are difficult or impossible to communicate or understand.
PhonicsTutor Phonogram Flashcards are designed to
provide a complete view of English spelling, to create a rich
teacher-student dialog which teaches the phonemes, rules and other
helpful information about each phonogram, and to provide a means of
testing a student's understanding of English.
Intended for use with the PhonicsTutor Frequent Word
Software and PhonicsTutor Frequent Word Teachers Manual.
