A phonogram is a letter, or group of letters, that represents a specific sound. Learning, memorizing, and understanding the 70 phonograms is a very important part of the reading process. These 70 phonograms are building blocks that provide the foundation for the more complex components of the reading process, such as decoding, writing, and spelling.
If you would like to practice the 70 phonograms at home with your child, which we highly recommend, please utilize the resources below:
A Sound Wall is a visual display that helps students learn the connection between speech sounds (phonemes) and how they are written (graphemes). Unlike traditional word walls that focus on vocabulary, sound walls are organized by the way sounds are made in the mouth and the different ways those sounds can be represented in writing. They are a tool used in the science of reading to support phonics instruction and help students become more proficient readers and spellers. Â
