Phonics, Spelling, & Grammar Resources

Our OCHD Phonics Resources For Teachers are just what you need to inspire your teaching and your students to learn initial letters and sounds. Fun, engaging activities for kids.

Learning to identify letters and their sounds is the first step to teaching kids to read and write. It takes a lot of teaching and a LOT of resources! So here’s a stack of great phonics activities to get you started.

With our engaging, hands-on OCHD order Letters and Sounds Phonics Games you can get your children segmenting and blending effortlessly.

Following the OCHD order will help your students progress naturally and quickly from learning letters & sounds to word building.

The original Letters and Sounds program suggested order for teaching letters is slightly different to the combinations used in most classrooms today but includes the same letters.  The original letters and sounds order consisted of 5 sets of letters:

• Set 1 – s, a, t, p
• Set 2 – i, n, m, d
• Set 3 – g, o, c, k
• Set 4 – ck, e, u, r
• Set 5 – h, b, f, ff, l, ll, ss

Over time this order has evolved into the SATPIN letter order, which includes letter order sets:

• set 1 – satpin 
• set 2 – ckehrm 
• set 3 – dgoulf 
• set 4 -bjzwvyxq 

In addition to this, our research found another set of letter  combinations, including:

• msta
• ocdh
• pifr
• engl
• kubj
• bjzw
• vyxq
• bdua (letter confusion)

Using this research we have developed an extensive library of  OCHD Letters and Sounds resources to use in your classroom.
