ESL Alphabet Cards-Arabic to English Phonemes

When printed front to back, the cards align to be cut out with each letter of the English alphabet on one side, and the corresponding sound in the Arabic alphabet on the other side.

*there are some letters (e, g, o, p, u, v) that do not have a direct correspondence in Arabic, so the most similar phoneme was selected

This resource will support students new to English who are just beginning to learn to read English by giving them a phonetic reference in their native language.

Note: The alphabets appear reversed when looking at the page images so that they align correctly when using double sided printing.
