Heart Word Flash Cards

Are you looking for high-frequency word flash cards to consolidate high frequency words with tricky spellings? These synthetic phonics heart word cards will help your students to use orthographic mapping to unpack heart words - these are words with tricky or irregular spellings. By using the alphabetic code to identify the different graphemes, students will be able to understand how to spell all words on the high-frequency words list of any phonics or spelling program.

Over 200 high-frequency heart word and flash word cards are included:

• Heart Words are words with a tricky part which we have to learn by heart. These ‘tricky parts’ are either irregular/rare spellings, OR spelling patterns that have not yet been taught.
• Flash words are high-frequency words with regular spellings. These words can be easily sounded out (decoded) but we want students to know these words ‘in a flash’.

An editable PowerPoint is also included, where you can add additional words and/or create your own heart word flash cards if required. 

Please note: this resource has been created from an Australian accent.

The Hive has a range of interactive and completely customisable phonics apps, including our famous Word Builder. Check them out with our 7 day free trial!
