Young children learn best when they are having fun and alphabet playing cards can be an enjoyable way to learn to recognise the different letters, to know which sounds they represent and to begin to use them to make words. All of the games and activities suggested in this Flashcard set can be played with an adult or older child together with one or two younger children. The cards contain: BL30 'CVC' alphabet cards (26 letters + sh, ch, th, wh) that can be sounded out - e.g. cat pic on one side with word cat, and letter c on other side. BL30 'longer word' alphabet cards (26 letters + sh, ch, th, wh) - e.g. cake pic on one side and letter c on other BL9 name cards emphasizing capital letters (Kipper, Biff, Chip, Floppy, Mum, Dad, Gran, Wilf, Wilma) BL2x 2-sided advice cards - 4 games to support alphabet knowledge, alphabetical order, sound games, word making, and listening for sounds at the beginning and end of words, through familiar games like snap BL1 x 2-sided card with practical advice for parents on how to use the Phonic Flashcards: Alphabet Games
