Phonogram Words

Phonogram Words

Phonogram words are exceptions to phonetic words. Here are word lists that contain phonogram words. These lists can be used for reading, writing and spelling exercises.

4 and 5 year old children can handle double consonants, such as ck, ss, ff, and so on. Also, ing words can be introduced. You can easily introduce these words if they describe something that is a part of your child's environment.
