Distance Learning
Letters & Phonograms
Students should know the alphabet names and sounds at the end of kindergarten. The "Letter Sounds" video below supports children as they use hand movements to remember the alphabets sounds.
Students will learn most of the phonogram sounds below. Phonograms are sounds letters make when they are put together. Some phonograms have more than one sound and different sets have the same sounds. Learning these sounds will help children solve unknown words as they read. The "Phonograms" video below supports children as they use hand movements to remember the phonogram sounds.
This document has videos to learn more phonograms.
