Phonics Genius

Phonics Genius groups recorded words by sound and lets you build custom flashcard lists.

Our take

Consider it if a learner needs practice hearing a particular sound across many words.

Highlighted letters connect the sound to its spelling, and adjustable pacing supports several practice styles.

Keep in mind: It drills word recognition and sound distinctions rather than teaching a complete reading curriculum.
