Phonetic Reader: Primary Grades

Oh the first joy to see them read their own book for the first time! If you need to copy the phonetic transcription into another program or print it, please read our FAQ. Remember that in IPA, the same sound is always written the same way. In English, a /k/ sound can be written with the letters ‘k’ ‘c’, or maybe ‘q’, but in IPA, you always write it with ‘k’.
