Phonics alphabetical order a-z phonics illustration posters flashcards Research shows that when phonics is taught in a structured way – starting with the easiest sounds and progressing through to the most complex – it is the most effective way of teaching young children to read. Use these illustrated alphabet cards to help children begin to recognise the sounds that each individual letter makes and have a bright and eye catching alphabet display in class or at home. This 52 page pack includes: 26 letters of the alphabet with a cute illustration 26 plain letters of the alphabet It is intended to be printed out and laminated so each letter is double sided (the picture letter side/the plain letter side) as shown in the video. Each letter has an image that corresponds to the letter sound, a phrase to “Say” to remember the sound the letter represents, and a phrase to say as you “Write” the letter to remember how to correctly form the letter when writing. For example ‘s’ has a picture of a child on a slide. You can say “ssss, ssss, ssslide”. You can put your finger at the top of the slide and say “Slide down the slide” to show your child how to write the letter ‘s’. I hope you enjoy this product! Total Pages 52 pages
