PBPhonics offers basic phonics practice. Select a phoneme, and it will show how to speak and sound out words containing that phoneme. Start with the phonemes in the row s a t i p n and work down.
The later rows include "sight words" that are not phonetic but are important to know. Select these with the star (*) in each row.
There are a total of 619 words to hear.
PBPhonics is also available as two apps for iPad and iPhone, and iPod touch. The app offers additional recording and testing options.
