I am dyslexic and currently in school to become a special education teacher, so I feel quite embarrassed that to have to ask this, but does anybody know of any specific websites, programs, etc. that can help me with my phonemic awareness?

I've tried looking online, in workbooks, and even going to the communication disorders clinic on campus, but because they ask use real words when trying to teach me the sounds I am able to "cheat" because I already know the word and what sound it makes, ever though I haven't a clue as to why I pronounce it one way vs. another. I really think I need learn using nonsense words or something, because otherwise I'm never going to get anywhere, and I certainly won't be ready to help my students.

I really need to find a free or really cheap program because I have no money and can't manage to work and go to school at the same time.
