If you need help pronouncing the phonograms these youtube links show you how for free!
Writing Road to Reading (all of the phonograms)
A kindergarten class doing 50 of the phonograms with their teacher. My kids like to say them with the children. The teacher does motions and key words which was nice for me to see. I believe these are Spalding based.
Even if you do know how to pronounce the above videos are worth watching if you’re not familiar with a Spalding type approach (I wasn’t) because they tell you things to note as you teach the phonograms (such as “a” that can be used at the end of the word for /ay/ and “a” that may not be used at the end of the word for /ai/, two letter “e” for /ee/, etc).

Free Phonogram Cards
Free Printable Phonogram cards (backs and fronts). The only problem is they formatted the backs incorrectly to print and have a few typos. I also wanted to add some things gleaned from the youtube links above. I think you can convert pdf to word for free and then you could edit and use them. But I just made my own using their text.
I selected the text from the pdf file and then did a right click to paste to the clipboard. I then pasted it onto my own card template in MicroSoft Word. The font looks really nice (size and type) and the wording on the back is worth the trouble to use these as a guide I thought. I printed on cardstock. You could laminate for something completely durable. They look really nice.
I did create and print smaller tile like phonograms too for my son to use for spelling. I plan to attach magnet backing and use the fridge as we don’t have a large magnetic white board.

Decodable Phonogram Reading Practice
If you want to use reading practice that covers the particular phonograms I found a couple. The order is slightly different. I tweaked the order of the lessons somewhat for that reason.
Word Mastery on Don Potter’s website would be 100% decodable and works through phonograms as well as things like blends. It is word based rather than stories but 100% decodable. This can actually be a stand alone phonics program. His entire website is full of great things—resources like this (so many), information and education on instruction, etc.
Progressive Phonics has the parent/teacher read the non-decodable words while the child reads the highlighted decodable words. It covers most but not all the phonograms in a progressive fashion. The stories are fun for kids to read.
I See Sam readers available free, for printing, online here. You would follow the instructions on the 3rsplus site for the use of the program. I found this to be a gentle, enjoyable, and effective start to reading for my kids. It is 100% decodable and explicit phonics. You can purchase thesereaders through 3rsplus linked above or I See Sam.

Free Game Board Templates
This link has lots of free boards so you can make games to review phonograms (or any subject area!). They also have templates to custom make them yourself. Board Game Templates
I printed a few for variety on cardstock and laminated. There are also bingo board templates, game card templates, spinners and related materials as well.
