Phonics for Reading

Phonics for Reading That Feels Clear, Practical, and Kid-Friendly

At Bjorem Speech & Literacy, we believe learning to read should feel empowering, not confusing or overwhelming. Our resources for phonics for reading are designed by speech-language pathologists and built with literacy experts, educators, and illustrators to support the skills that matter most: sound awareness, sound-symbol connections, and confident decoding. When children can connect what they see (letters) to what they hear and say (sounds), they begin to unlock reading in a way that truly sticks.

We keep things research-informed, but never overly academic. These tools are meant to be used in real-life therapy sessions, classrooms, homeschool routines, and quick practice at the kitchen table. Because progress happens in small, steady moments.

Phonics in Reading Starts With Strong Sound Awareness

Phonics in reading isn’t just about memorizing letter names or racing through word lists. It’s about building a strong foundation where children can notice sounds, map them to letters, and blend them into words they can actually read. Our approach supports that foundation by making speech sounds and letters easier to understand through clear visuals, predictable routines, and engaging practice that feels achievable.

For many children (especially those with speech sound disorders or childhood apraxia of speech), speech and literacy development are closely connected. When sound production or sound discrimination is challenging, decoding can be harder too. That’s why we build resources that support both speech clarity and early literacy skills working together, not separately.

Phonics Reading Tools That Bridge Speech Therapy and Literacy Instruction

If you’re an SLP, teacher, or parent looking for phonics reading supports that don’t feel like “more work,” you’re in the right place. Our materials help you model sounds clearly, practice blending and segmenting, and reinforce sound-letter mapping in a way kids can repeat. Think of it as the bridge from phonics to reading: the moment when a child goes from recognizing letters to actually decoding words with growing confidence.

• Visual supports that make phonemes easier to remember
• Activities that strengthen phonemic awareness for decoding and spelling
• Functional, repeatable routines that work across settings
• Inclusive, engaging design that keeps kids participating

Reading Phonics Practice That Builds Confidence Over Time

Reading phonics skills develop through consistent, meaningful practice, not quick fixes. We design resources that help adults cue consistently and help children understand the “why” behind the work. When kids can successfully blend sounds, decode a word, and recognize that they did it, motivation grows. That confidence matters just as much as the mechanics.

Whether you’re supporting early readers, reinforcing decoding in intervention, or strengthening spelling through sound awareness, these tools help keep practice focused, friendly, and effective.

Reading With Phonics at School and at Home

Reading with phonics becomes more powerful when it carries over beyond the lesson. That’s why our resources are designed to be easy for families to use, too. Parents and caregivers can follow simple routines, practice sounds and words during everyday moments, and support their child without needing a graduate-level background in literacy instruction.

Some learners thrive with short daily check-ins. Others do best with playful practice woven into phonics books, games, and movement. However you do it, the goal is the same: help kids read with phonics in a way that feels steady, supportive, and achievable.
