These made learning easy for my grandkids and fun at the same time

These are great flask cards! We use them in conjunction with the sight word flash cards. These are great for teaching phonics, blend sounds and we put them together and make words with them also. We will have like 4-5 cards at a time and see how many words we can make with the letters that we have out and I also will put out letters to make a partial word and give maybe 3-4 letter cards as options and have my child to pick which one he could add to the letters provided to make a word. I find that it’s helpful too because it breaks up the letter/letters for him so that he can focus on sounding out the sound on one card at a time. Especially as you start adding more and more letters to your words for longer words, he doesn’t seem to be so overwhelmed with what he’s looking at.

This pack of cards has a lot of good sounds but I wish it had more. The picture on the card is large and the letters are small. All in all for the price this pack of cards it is a great value.

The media could not be loaded. A bit misleading, as there are only about 20 actual blending cards and many blends are left out including br-, cl-, gl-, pl-, and tw. The rest of the deck is simply the alphabet, although I DO like that the vowels each include two cards, explaining the short and long vowel sounds.

I think this is one of the best things I bought to help my daughter read. I love how it comes with several word examples. They are quite small so it’s not a set I would intend to use for a class but more of a one on one teaching for home use. I referenced a picture right next to a pencil to give you a good idea. I have bought a rather expensive set of phonics flash cards that were made of a good quality glossy cardboard material and larger but there wasn’t much to it other than it’s big enough for a class presentation but there was only one word per digraph. I like how this set comes with 4-6 word examples using different vowels sounds, varying from 1 to a few syllables. I also like how it comes with a cheat sheet that tells you the “rules”, like Y as a vowel sound or when you use a hard G sound & when to use a soft G sound. I couldn’t be happier about this purchase! Also I’m it sure why the other review mentioned it doesn’t have much content on phonics. The whole set is about PHONICS! If you say it isn’t, I’m afraid you don’t know what phonics is. It has blends, digraphs, it has both long & short vowel sounds. It even touched on Vowel teams see pic with long O sound. The other set I bought doesn’t even offer any kind of explanation just shows a consonant blend, one word example and that’s it. And it was four times the price of this set! I couldn’t be more pleased with this purchase! This is a must have!

I use this to help my son and he likes it

My almost 6 yo is learning to read and was having a hard time memorizing sight words. Decided to go down the phonics route instead and it’s turning out much better. Extremely pleased with these cards and definitely recommend.

I used these cards with my son to help improve his reading skills. They are a great start for ages 3 and up.
