These keyword letter cards will help your students remember their sounds! When you add pictures and keywords research has shown it helps in the retention and retrieval of information.

Included:

• Mnemonic keywords
• All 26 letters of the alphabet
• Long Vowels
• Digraphs; th (voiced and unvoiced), ch, sh, ck, ph, wh

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

I always have my kids create actions that go with the pictures. This allows them to be active while doing letter sounds! Research shows that adding movement to learning can also help in the retrieval and retention of information.
