We believe that the general public and educators should have good information about the complex English alphabetic code, and we believe that high quality phonics training and resources should be readily available for all educators and learners internationally.
With this aspiration, we have provided information and exceptional resources featuring the complex English alphabetic code, and FREE practical phonics resources and guidance accessible to all educators (in schools and homes from age 3+ to adult) regardless of their location and financial situation. Your donation – entirely voluntary – will help us cover the costs of maintaining our free websites, administration and advisory service. If you value our work and would like to support us, we’d greatly appreciate your contribution. Debbie Hepplewhite

An Alphabetic Code Chart for English with the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)
An ideal one-side teacher-training chart to show the IPA symbols alongside easy-to-use notation for the sounds, or phonemes. This chart includes a comprehensive range of graphemes (spelling alternatives) and lists the complexities of the English alphabetic code. The chart is particularly useful for international students and teachers, and teachers of English as a second language (ESOL) who may be trained in phonetics but not necessarily systematic synthetic phonics.
