Welcome to the OnTrack Reading One-Syllable Word Lists. On this page you'll find one-syllable word lists organized around each of the nineteen vowel sounds found in English words. For example, the AR section lists 56 one-syllable words containing the "ar" spelling of the vowel sound. The OY section has two lists, one spelling the vowel sound using the "oy" spelling and the other using the "oi" spelling.

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.
