Hi Debbie'

I was just wondering if there is such a thing as a reverse Alphabetic Code Chart. By that I mean sonmething that says

The grapheme ea = /e/ /ai/ /ee/
The grapheme e = /e/ /ee/

etc

Thanks

I can't find one on Debbie's chart website but there's one in the Letters and Sounds notes of guidance booklet p27/28

Yes, thanks Susan!

I have made a pronunciation chart from letters and letter patterns to sounds - but purely to show how very complex it is to read English words and also to provide charts from print to sound.

I don't recommend the pronunciation chart for teaching per se - but it is very interesting to see what print-to-sound entails without a systematic phonics teaching approach!

This chart can be found on my Free Resources webpage:
