OnTrack Reading Phonics Program

Teach your student the phonics advanced code in as little as 8 weeks with our 170-page workbook and instruction manual.

Welcome to the OnTrack Reading Consonant Sound Word Lists. On this page you'll find word lists organized around the consonant sounds found in English words. Each list covers just one specified spelling of the targeted consonant sound, and then several lists are grouped together by that targeted sound. For example, the CH section has two lists, one listing words using the "ch" spelling (chest) and the second listing words using the "tch" spelling (hatch).

Author’s Note

Please note: The words on these lists are divided into chunks, not syllables, with the chunk boundaries determined by the method used in the OnTrack Reading Multisyllable Method. Do not use these lists to determine syllables.

By the way, if you like what you find here, the OnTrack Reading Comprehensive Word Lists book shown below contains all of the lists on these three word list pages in one convenient publication.
