Phonics Sounds Chart Practice for Kids
Kids often mispronounce words and sounds. It’s just part of the learning process. It takes lots of practice to master the English language. That’s why one of our veteran instructors, Tim Bertram, has put together a series of phonics practice resources like an printable alphabet phonics sounds chart to help kids iron out the kinks in their pronunciation.
Here are all the charts available with MP3 audio files below:
- Alphabet Phonics Sounds Chart
- Consonant Combination Chart
- Sight Word Practice at Home
- Challenging Sounds Phonics Chart
- Vowel Combination Chart
Alphabet Phonics Sounds Chart
Please see attached pdf of our Alphabet charts, as well as a short mp3 audio file of the phonics sounds.

To start, you can print out the two charts for your child (or display them on your computer screen) and have your child practice along to the audio as they point to each letter. At first, you may find they can repeat only a few sounds. However, with practice, they should become more confident and proficient. The end goal is for them to say the sounds correctly and independently without needing to listen to the audio track!
By the way, even though many letters can be pronounced more than one way, in this exercise we focus on their most common sounds: C as in Cat, G as in Gold, and Y as in Yellow, etc.
Practicing a few minutes every day will make a big difference to your child’s skills acquisition!

You can either print the charts or have your child refer and point to them on your computer screen. At the same time, you can play the corresponding audio tracks and have your child follow along.
At first, they may just listen and repeat the occasional word. With practice, the first goal is for them to be able to say every word along with the recording while they point to each word. The second goal is for them to be able to say every word without needing the recording.
By the way, we are aiming for sight recognition of these high-frequency words so if your child isn’t able to sound them out, that’s okay!
