Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a method and apparatus for teaching reading and spelling. Specifically, the invention delineates the rules governing the syllabic division and letter sounds of one, two, three, four and five syllable words. The method employs an unique system of integration of these syllabic rules, phonograms, four sets of consonant clusters and single consonants for teaching a learner reading and spelling with either a manual or computer program.

Abstract: A reading and spelling teaching system primarily for auditory dyslexics and visual dyslexics having a phonogram classification board with the seven categories of vowel sounds depicted, phonogram cards with the major vowel sounds of each vowel group (a, e, i, o, u), consonant cards depicting through pictures the consonant sounds and consonant blends/consonant diagraph sounds, and a teaching device in the form of a game for reinforcement of the phonograms.
