Please Note

This resource is designed as a supplemental visual reference and does not replace explicit, systematic phonics or dyslexia instruction. Sound-spelling patterns should be taught directly before students are expected to use the charts independently.

Some letters and spelling patterns represent more than one sound and are included separately with corresponding picture cues.

One sound at a time, one confident reader at a time!
