FLASHCARD SET · AGES 4–5 YEARS

Phonics & Beginning Sounds flashcards.

Twenty-six cards, one for every letter: big Aa beside the apple, Bb beside the ball, all the way to Zz beside the zebra. Every card carries its picture word, its sound script for grown-ups and one tiny activity — the whole alphabet’s worth of first sounds, ready to print.

These cards belong to Class 28 · Phonics & Beginning Sounds on the Kiddo School learning path.

HOW TO USE THESE CARDS

Four ways that work.

You do not need a plan or a printer schedule. Pick one idea, try it for two minutes and see what happens.

  1. 01

    Play the sound hunt

    Pick one card, then hunt the house for three things that start with its sound. The apple card finds an apron, an avocado, an animal toy — three finds and the sound is owned.

  2. 02

    Say the sounds, not the names

    Line the cards up and sing the alphabet in sounds instead of letter names: a-a-apple, b-b-ball. It is the same song the reading books speak.

  3. 03

    Play the mismatch game

    Hold up the moon card and say "m — m — marble!" — a deliberate mistake. Children correct grown-ups with enormous joy, and correcting is the drill.

  4. 04

    Trace the big letters

    Finger-trace the big Aa while saying its sound out loud. Eyes, mouth and fingertip all hold the same letter at once — that is how sounds stick.
