Practise a specific skill

From letter sounds
to reading and spelling.

Phonics connects letters with sounds, then blends those sounds into words. This deck starts with simple patterns such as s, a, t and p and progresses to spellings such as sh, ee and igh. Select what you need to practise; Anki schedules the reviews.

Best considered for adults working on basic English decoding and spelling. You still need to understand the words, receive teaching where needed and practise connected reading. There are no translations or sentence lessons, and this is not a complete English or pronunciation course.

Same cards as English Phonics for Kids. This adult listing provides its own purchase experience and online guide. The download retains the original illustrations and embedded parent guide. If you own either listing, you already own this content—do not buy it again.

Teaching context

A foundation
for further reading.

The U.S. Department of Education’s LINCS collection includes Making Sense of Decoding and Spelling, a researched adult reading course covering decoding, spelling patterns and fluency. Its evidence concerns that course, not these cards.

Our inventory draws on Letters and Sounds (2007), originally written for children. The package has not been evaluated with adult learners. Preview the presentation and discuss its fit with your tutor. Neither organisation endorses this deck.

A few useful answers

Before you start.

Who is this for?

Adults practising basic English letter–sound relationships, simple word reading and spelling, with a tutor or learning partner where needed. It is not a general English, conversation or complete pronunciation course. Adult learning outcomes have not been evaluated.

What is included?

348 notes produce 630 cards: 48 sound cards, 282 reading cards, 282 spelling cards and 18 tricky-word reading cards. Includes 344 human recordings, sound-keyword illustrations and three word pictures. No translations or sentence lessons.

How is this different from English Phonics for Kids?

The downloaded cards, recordings, illustrations and embedded parent guide are identical. This listing provides adult-focused buying and getting-started guidance. The package appears in Anki as Sound Road. If you own either listing, you already own the content and your download token works for both.

How much does it cost?

$9.99 USD once. Anki is required; any paid Anki app is separate. The 30-day money-back guarantee applies.

What does the sequence cover?

Selected early spelling patterns from Letters and Sounds (2007), Phases 2–3, with ure omitted, plus 30 tagged extension words. It does not cover all English sounds or spelling patterns, connected speech, stress or intonation.

Which accent and apps?

Human recordings by Simon in his broadly non-rhotic accent from England. Fresh imports, updates and rendering passed Anki 26.8.1 backend checks. Physical-phone checks remain pending; adult usability has not been validated.
