If you are anything like me you hate using physical cards because you lose them, or just simply set them down and forget where you set them. I create slides for each day of instruction. This helps to create seamless transitions from each subject.

I love having these sound cards in my Powerpoint because I can add or delete sounds throughout the year and shuffle them around so the kids don't memorize the order!

Included:

All 26 letters

Digraphs: ph, sh, wh, ch, ck, th (voiced and unvoiced)

Long vowels (silent e)

Word Families; all, am, an, ang, ing, ong, ung, ank, ink, onk, unk

R-controlled vowels: ar, or, er, ir, ur

Vowel Teams: ai, ay, ee, ea, ey, oa, ow, ue, oe

Diphthongs: oi, oy, ow, ou, ou, ue, ew, au, aw, oo, oo
