Spalding Phonograms
iPhone / Education
Are you searching for the best way to teach spalding phonograms to your students or children? Whether you're a classroom teacher, a private tutor, or a homeschool parent, spalding phonograms are the foundation of strong reading and literacy skills — and this app puts all 70 of them right in your pocket.
Master All 70 Phonograms
spalding phonograms cover every essential sound pattern in the English language. From simple single-letter sounds to complex multi-letter combinations, this app walks you through each phonogram with clear audio pronunciation, example keywords, and full sound descriptions. You'll always know exactly which sound each phonogram makes — and why. Every phonogram includes multiple sound variants so you're never left guessing when a letter combination behaves differently in different words.
Three Powerful Study Modes
No matter how you learn best, spalding phonograms fit your style:
Flashcards — Flip through the full deck at your own pace. Mark each card as "Learned" or "Still Learning" to build a focused review queue. A smooth flip animation reveals the sounds and keywords on the back of every card. You can filter to show only unlearned phonograms, so your study sessions stay efficient as your knowledge grows.
Drill Mode — Go card by card through all 70 spalding phonograms in sequence, just like a live classroom session. Tap to reveal the sounds, then move forward at your own pace. Your daily drill streak keeps you consistent and motivated — even five minutes a day builds real fluency over time. Previous and next navigation lets you go back and review any card instantly.
Quiz Mode — Put your knowledge to the test with a 20-question multiple-choice quiz. Each quiz pulls from a fresh random selection of spalding phonograms so every session feels new. You can also reverse the quiz: see the sound and choose the correct phonogram. See your score and percentage at the end of every quiz.
Built for Real Literacy Teaching
spalding phonograms are a core part of the Orton-Gillingham method — a structured, research-backed approach to reading instruction used in schools and learning centers worldwide. This app follows that same order and presentation, making it a natural companion for anyone already using Orton-Gillingham materials or following a structured literacy curriculum.
Homeschool families love spalding phonograms because the method is clear, sequential, and proven. This app brings that structure to your daily routine in a way that's simple enough for a beginner but thorough enough for a specialist. Teachers appreciate how quickly they can pull it up during a lesson to check sounds or demonstrate a phonogram to the class.
Audio Pronunciation for Every Phonogram
Tap the speaker icon on any card to hear the keyword spoken aloud. Real pronunciation practice is essential when teaching phonics — and especially important for younger students who are just building phoneme awareness. Audio is available on every flashcard and every drill card, so you always have a reference voice to guide you.
Track Your Progress
The app tracks which spalding phonograms you've marked as learned, so you always know where you stand. Your drill streak counter shows how many consecutive days you've practiced, giving you a simple daily motivation to keep going. Progress resets only when you choose — so you stay in control of your review cycle.
Clean, Focused Design
Every screen was designed to stay out of the way and let you focus on what matters: the spalding phonograms themselves. No ads, no distractions, no confusing menus. Dark mode, large readable text, and simple navigation mean you can open the app and start studying in seconds.
Whether you're introducing phonics to a first-grader or helping a struggling reader build confidence, this app gives you every tool you need. Download it today and build the literacy foundation that lasts a lifetime — with spalding phonograms.
