Phonics instruction teaches the relationships between the letters of written language and the sounds of spoken language.
This Writing Card shows the most common graphemes that students may use in their writing. The graphemes are grouped together to show the common sounds they make, with icons matching from our Grapheme-Phoneme Flashcards. Students can be prompted by the familiar images to assist with locating the sound on the card.
These cards print out A4 in size and can be laminated back to back.
