The Alpha-Phonics Phonograms teach the variable symbol-to-sound correspondences of the English
alphabetic writing system. The Phonograms are numbered according the order in which they are
introduced in Alpha-Phonics. The underlined letters give the sound or sounds of the phonograms. Say
the sounds in isolation in the order given as you practice drilling the phonograms with the students.
Simply reciting the sounds of each phonogram in the order indicated is all the teacher needs to do. The
phonograms can be drilled from the Phonogram Drill Chart or from the Phonogram Flash Cards.
