I found a great website a few days ago: each vowel phoneme had a list of words that had that vowel sound, but the vowel sounds were spelled differently. It was the best list I've ever found - some of the phonemes had many different spellings and lots of examples.

Murphy's law: you always forget to bookmark the one website you are going to need later!

Does anybody know of a website where I can find these kinds of lists? There are plenty with two or three examples per phoneme; I'm looking for ten or twenty.

Thanks, friends!

I don't use the web that much, so I can't offer you much help in finding your website (i.e. you'll stand a better chance of finding it yourself than I will!).

I just wanted to mention the COBUILD English Guide to Spelling (perhaps it is number 8 in that series?), and the ACE (Aurally Coded English) Spelling Dictionary. Maybe check them out if you see them in a bookstore and tell us what you think...

This may be a bit complex but there are enough words for each phoneme to keep a class busy for a while:
