NOTICE: Upon installing this mobile application, you are agreeing to the terms and conditions. This Spalding Phonograms app is designed for helping students learn the phonics connection between speech sounds and written symbols that represent those sounds (phonograms). Learning the phonograms is essential for accurate and automatic reading, writing, and spelling. Teaching all the sounds of the phonemes represented by an alphabet letter or combination of two, three, or four letters (phonograms) enables students to read, spell, and write high-frequency words quickly. Students who learn the phonograms well expand their vocabulary and are able to use effective and creative communication skills in writing. Critical thinking is involved in learning the appropriate phonogram placement within words for accurate spelling and for applying information learned during phonogram reviews to pronounce unfamiliar words. The Spalding Phonograms app is for students that need additional practice, including home schooling, ESL (English as a Second Language), ELL (English Language Learners), ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) students, and those with dyslexia or other learning disabilities. The school and home connection is encouraged through collaboration and communication with the teacher, parent, and student for practicing the phonograms appropriately and adequately. The Spalding Phonograms app aligns with the core reading foundational skills required by state and national standards that are most crucial to the development of early reading success and reading comprehension, including: • Phonemic awareness • Feature recognition • Letter recognition • Sound-symbol relationships (decoding) The Spalding Phonograms app provides the following options for all 87 phonograms. • Phonogram Introduction by selected group – The student sees the phonograms in order of instruction in The Writing Road to Reading, listens to the teacher say the sound(s), and then says the sound(s). • Oral Phonogram Review – A random phonogram card is show, followed by a pause. The student says the sound(s) and then listens to check accuracy. • Written Phonogram Review –The student hears the phonogram sounds, followed by a pause; the student repeats the sound(s), listens for a cue, if needed, and then writes the phonogram on lined paper. The card is immediately shown so the student can check for accuracy. • Differentiated Practice – Specific phonograms (from all 87) can be selected that need more practice. These phonograms can then be practiced in Phonogram Introduction, Oral Phonogram Review, or Written Phonogram Review. ## Phonograms by SEI Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple124/v4/b2/1d/2d/b21d2dbb-fcf7-c57c-253f-9fd7f9e718f9/pr_source.png/640x960.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple114/v4/45/b0/f7/45b0f7d4-91f7-041e-1807-641144d3c585/pr_source.png/640x960.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple124/v4/2e/98/a0/2e98a05f-e524-d5e5-982c-0b265b7d4f33/pr_source.png/640x960.png) - [Screenshot 4](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple114/v4/20/a1/81/20a18104-8195-8d72-3955-57453c517964/pr_source.png/640x960.png) ## Phonograms by SEI Rating Breakdown in United States - 5 stars: 26 (12%) - 4 stars: 11 (5%) - 3 stars: 11 (5%) - 2 stars: 23 (10%) - 1 stars: 149 (68%) ## Phonograms by SEI Reviews in United States ### *---- "no sound" I tried turn off Bluetooth, still no sound -- Oootif, 2025-10-29 ### *---- "Differentiated practice barely works" When I set up for the weekly phonograms for my daughters weekly practice it takes about 15 minutes to setup and only works about half the time -- Good will hunting 123, 2025-10-28 ### *---- "Volume not working" This app doesn’t work very well. The volume button within the app doesn’t work and we can’t hear the sounds of the phonograms. Wish I didn’t pay for this. I asked for app help and the website was invalid. -- Eeebsnahdv eh edbqbw, 2025-10-01 ### *---- "No sound" The point of practicing phonograms is to know it’s sound! The app has no sound, you press replay sound and you can not hear nothing I want my money back -- crisgradinariu, 2025-09-24 ### **--- "Updates needed but okay" This app needs to be updated. I’ve had it for 7 years and it crashes all the time and when in written practice, it doesn’t allow students to check their answer. If this app was periodically updated, then they would catch the bug. Frustrating! -- JDWallace1980, 2025-08-21 ### ***** "Instructions needed" Thanks to all the reviews I was able to figure out how to use this app. Here is what I learned: Make sure your phone ringer is not on silent (because even if you raise the volume while the switch is on silent the app will not play the sounds for you during the oral review). Make sure your brightness is not on dark mode because the letters will not appear in the written review section. Lastly in the differentiated practice you can select the specific letters you want to practice versus the entire set. -- gema.m, 2025-07-30 ### **--- "Doesn’t make sounds?" I was under the impression that this would make the phonogram sounds and we could practice together. It doesn’t seem to make the sounds despite it saying replay sound? There are no sounds? -- herbataylor, 2025-07-19 ### *---- "No sound" Waste of money. The sound doesn’t work. -- Melodic Flowers, 2025-06-13 ### *---- "Sound doesn’t work" I bought this and the sound does not work -- Kuygfdthh, 2025-06-11 ### *---- "No sounds" I am giving it one star . It has a lot of potential with no sounds are coming out of it beautiful layout. -- Lamca1228, 2025-06-11 [View all Phonograms by SEI reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Phonograms by SEI Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | United States | Education | #27 | | Top Paid | United States | Overall | #241 | ## Phonograms by SEI Discovered Keywords - phonograms - phonogram sounds ## Apps Similar to Phonograms by SEI - [Phonogram Sounds](https://apptail.io/app/phonogram-sounds-mQFb/united-states) - [Driveline Dispatch](https://apptail.io/app/driveline-dispatch-nmLb/united-states) - [Letter Sounds A to Z](https://apptail.io/app/letter-sounds-a-to-z-rdJc/united-states) - [NVCA Lions AZ](https://apptail.io/app/nvca-lions-az-BvZc/united-states) - [Chandler Public Library](https://apptail.io/app/chandler-public-library-IeSd/united-states) - [Covenant Christian School AL](https://apptail.io/app/covenant-christian-school-al-mvSd/united-states) - [SchoolAxis CURB](https://apptail.io/app/schoolaxis-curb-fMNe/united-states) - [iPhonogram](https://apptail.io/app/iphonogram-KHQe/united-states) - [Spalding University](https://apptail.io/app/spalding-university-Dcdf/united-states) - [American Heritage School](https://apptail.io/app/american-heritage-school-Mdzw/united-states) ## Phonograms by SEI Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/phonograms-by-sei-Dxcd/united-states) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/phonograms-by-sei-Dxcd/australia) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/phonograms-by-sei-Dxcd/canada) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
