Debbie's definition of an Alphabetic Code Chart
General information or teacher-training
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.
