MAKING LETTER-SOUNDS STICK

What is an embedded picture mnemonic?

An embedded picture mnemonic is a letter with its clue built in, a picture illustrated directly into the letter’s shape, so a child sees the letter, hears its sound, and remembers a picture all at once.

Our Graphonic Mnemonics™ are a collection of 65 uniquely illustrated letterforms, each one an embedded picture mnemonic designed to make letter-sounds easier to learn and remember. Created by a speech-language pathologist and refined through years of real-world use with children, they’re the foundation behind every Phonic Forge™ card and every page of Phillip’s ABC™.

The First Step Before Phonic Forge™

An A–Z alphabet book for little hands and growing minds.

Most alphabet books place a picture beside the letter. Phillip’s ABC puts the picture inside it, helping children connect each lowercase letter with its most common sound and get a head start on learning to read.

The difference is in the design

Everything the child needs is in one place.

Traditional letters ask children to connect separate pieces of information. Graphonic Mnemonic letters build those connections directly into the letter.

The child works to connect it all, piece by piece.

Multiple steps. Increased mental effort. Harder to remember.
