These small activity cards are perfect for reinforcing the decoding of words with various long vowel sounds. There are 24 cards for each long vowel- a, e, i, o, u- that cover all of the graphemes that represent each.
The rainbows are designed so students can trace with their finger or use something concrete as they sound out each phoneme and then blend together to read the word in full. There is also space to write the word or make it using concrete letters to reinforce the spelling of the word. Such a fun activity for Literacy groups.
These activity cards print out 4 per A4 page.
