Very effective tool for learning the digraphs and trigraphs the children need to know for the Phonics Screening Check. These Sound Cards cover the Letters and Sounds Phase 3 and Phase 5 digraphs and trigraphs and can be used with any Phonics programme you are using in school. Sound Cards are provided on a downloadable PDF which can be printed double-sided onto card and then cut out into individual Sound Cards. They can be laminated for extra durability and reused year after year. • Each child can have their own set to keep at school and/or take home. As the children learn a new digraph/trigraph in class you can give them the relevant Sound Card to add to their collection. Or you can give them all out as a revision tool for the Phonics Screening Check. Parents can go through the cards with the children at home. • Individual sound cards can be used more flexibly and more effectively than simply having a sheet of illustrated sounds. • Children’s retention of the sounds by using these cards is better than rote learning with the sounds in a fixed order all on one page. The PDFs can be used as Sound Mats in class in addition to, or as an alternative to, individual Sound Cards
