About Phonograms

Welcome to The Spalding Method™ Phonograms app!

NOTICE: UPON INSTALLING THIS MOBILE APPLICATION, YOU ARE AGREEING TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

This Spalding Phonograms app is designed for helping students learn the phonics connection between speech sounds and written symbols that represent those sounds (phonograms). Learning the phonograms is essential for accurate and automatic reading, writing, and spelling. Teaching all the sounds of the phonemes represented by an alphabet letter or combination of two, three, or four letters (phonograms) enables students to read, spell, and write high-frequency words quickly. Students who learn the phonograms well expand their vocabulary and are able to use effective and creative communication skills in writing. Critical thinking is involved in learning the appropriate phonogram placement within words for accurate spelling and for applying information learned during phonogram reviews to pronounce unfamiliar words.

The Spalding Phonograms app is for students that need additional practice, including home schooling, ESL (English as a Second Language), ELL (English Language Learners), ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) students, and those with dyslexia or other learning disabilities. The school and home connection is encouraged through collaboration and communication with the teacher, parent, and student for practicing the phonograms appropriately and adequately. The Spalding Phonograms app aligns with the core reading foundational skills required by state and national standards that are most crucial to the development of early reading success and reading comprehension, including:

• Phonemic awareness
• Feature recognition
• Letter recognition
• Sound-symbol relationships (decoding)

The Spalding Phonograms app provides the following options for all 87 phonograms.

• Phonogram Introduction by selected group – The student sees the phonograms in order of instruction in "The Writing Road to Reading," listens to the teacher say the sound(s), and then says the sound(s).
• Oral Phonogram Review – A random phonogram card is show, followed by a pause. The student says the sound(s) and then listens to check accuracy.
• Written Phonogram Review –The student hears the phonogram sounds, followed by a pause; the student repeats the sound(s), listens for a cue, if needed, and then writes the phonogram on lined paper. The card is immediately shown so the student can check for accuracy.
• Differentiated Practice – Specific phonograms (from all 87) can be selected that need more practice. These phonograms can then be practiced in Phonogram Introduction, Oral Phonogram Review, or Written Phonogram Review.

Sound constantly cuts out and doesn't work waste of my money thanks a lot. The point of the app is for the sound of the letters not just to stare at them fix this or I will chargeback

This application works sometimes. It is frustrating because I paid for this and the free ones actually work better. My children are being taught Spalding in school and the app was recommended by the teacher. What a disappointment and a waste of $4 it would be nice if you could actually contact the people who created this app for some help. I will check back for a response I would try taking it off my phone and reinstalling except I don't want to pay again for an app I already have

The audio stops after a few letters. This is quite consistent. I've tried it on two phones - Nexus 5 and Nexus 5x, Nougat and Oreo, respectively. Neither worked. Hopefully they will fix it soon.

The app needs improvement. Audio works but the delay is way to long from the time the phonograph shows and the sound. May need two modes but usually we use to review and my child doesn't see the letter just listening to the sound then writes the corresponding phonogram. Also a extra button to give a clue word like er = her would be beneficial.

I love that you can practice listening and writing the phonemes, but the sound on the app does not always work. This makes the app difficult to use for practice.

P70%
by P####:

Sound does not work most of the time. Usually after 5-8 letters it just goes silent. The idea is wonderful but truly it was a waste of my $4 as it does not work most of the time :(

Broken. This app needs an update to fix the audio. It works for a minute but then you can't get the audio to play.

I love that I can now use this with my flash cards. We live in Texas and Spalding is not well-known or known at all. Now I can review what my son learned over 8 years ago when he was in Franklin Elementary ...He's 17 and an excellent reader. So now its time to pass that knowledge down to my daughters little girl. Thanks Spalding for such a fantastic program.

I love this app. I have several children in a Spalding school and it would be nice to be able to have personalized lists for more than one child at a time without having to reenter the lists each time.
