The Phonemes App is designed to help teachers deliver engaging and interactive lessons on phonemes, graphemes, and syllables. Aligned with the Australian National Curriculum, it provides a powerful classroom tool for teaching early reading and spelling skills. Teachers can use the app on their CommBox touchscreen to demonstrate: - Common phonemes and their single-letter graphemes (e.g. b, a, m) - Phonemes represented by more than one letter or letter combination (e.g. c, ck) - Short and long vowel sounds for a, e, i, o, and u - Single-syllable words with common double letters (e.g. ss, ll, zz) - Consonant digraphs (e.g. sh, ch, ck) and consonant blends - One- and two-syllable words with common suffixes (e.g. -ing, -ed) - Vowel digraphs (e.g. ee, oo, ay, ai, ea, oa, ow) - Less common graphemes and alternative spellings (e.g. ch/tch, j/g) - Single-syllable and multisyllabic words - Prefixes and suffixes (e.g. in-, ex-, dis-, -ful, -able, -ly) The app encourages student participation by allowing them to come up to the interactive screen and build words, making lessons more hands-on and memorable. Teachers can also save collections of cards for use throughout the week, supporting consistent instruction and easy revision. - [General CommBox Product Information](https://support.commbox.com.au/knowledge/general-commbox-product-information?hsLang=en#main-content) -
