This invention is an interactive teaching apparatus and method for teaching graphemes, i.e., letter symbols of an alphabet (24, 24'); grapheme names, phonemes (14, 14'), and phonetics are utilized as a display of graphemes (10) having a plurality of distinctive colorcoded letters to form words, phrases, and sentences. Each of the distinctive colors corresponds to a characteristic of sound production (20) associated with at least one phoneme or speech sound of at least one of the graphemes. The letters are accompanied by a plurality of visually perceivable images (13), each of which is positioned adjacent to at least one of the graphemes (14, 14', 24, 24') and has a name including at least one phoneme of at least one adjacent grapheme. The apparatus includes a plurality of individually activated sound generating devices (161) each of which is associated with one of the graphemes (14, 14', 24, 24') and generates the name or at least one phoneme associated with the grapheme (14, 14', 24, 24'); and also includes a sound pattern generating device (12) for generating patterns of sounds comprising more than one of the names of the phonemes generated by the plurality of sound generating devices (16).
