Frequently asked questions
What phonics sounds do these flashcards cover?
Short and long vowel sounds, consonant digraphs (sh, ch, th, wh, ck), beginning blends (bl, cr, st, and more), ending blends, r-controlled vowels (ar, or, er, ir), and vowel teams (ai, ee, oa, oo). Each is taught with a key word and audio.
What age are phonics flashcards for?
They suit children from Pre-K through second grade who are learning to sound out and decode words, and they pair well with sight words, which cover the irregular words phonics does not.
Do the phonics cards include audio?
Yes. Every card has audio so your child hears the sound and the key word said correctly, with spaced repetition built in. It runs in the browser and on mobile.
