Phonograms – Print

Description

Once a child can confidently sound out single letters, English throws them a curveball: two letters that combine into one entirely new sound. The Phonograms Print set introduces children to exactly these double-letter combinations, the building blocks that unlock a huge share of everyday English words. The set covers sixteen essential phonograms, including er, ee, ar, ou, oo, ai, or, ue, ie, au, oa, sh, ch, oy, th, and qu, each mounted in clear print letters on a green hardboard.

The textured, sandpaper surface of each phonogram invites children to trace its shape with their fingers, connecting the visual symbol with its sound through the same multisensory approach used throughout Montessori language work. With repeated, independent practice, children move confidently from recognising single letters to blending complex sound combinations, giving them the tools they need for both reading and spelling.
