Checklist of 44 phonemes and keywords
These are the 44 phonemes of English, with examples. Some authorities list more than 44 sounds; some say there are fewer.

To develop a basic understanding of the structure of language – including the anatomy of words – is a worthwhile investment in time and effort for all learners, but it is essential for those who struggle with developing literacy skills. Adams (1990) argued that “a deep and thorough knowledge of letters, spelling patterns, and words, and of phonological translations of all three, are of inescapable importance to both skilful reading and its acquisition”.
Dissecting words by getting down to the bare bones – including saying the word aloud, identifying the phonemes (the individual sounds), then matching these to the letters that represent them – is indispensable for decoding words not instantly recognised when reading: “to establish the link between a letter and a sound, the learner must first establish a clear image of each” (Adams, 1990). Writing develops and reinforces word patterns and sound/symbol relationships.
People learn differently. Those with good visual skills can memorise word patterns. Those who are strong verbalisers with good language skills can learn by using and saying the individual letter/sound combinations and by understanding syllables. Those who are auditory learners will learn mostly from hearing and saying the letter/sound correspondences, as well as by dividing words into syllables. Those with good kinaesthetic skills wi...
