| Each of the colorful cards is satin varnished
with rounded corners for durability and each card has a patterned
word list printed on the back. The images are carefully selected and
have been field tested in diverse educational settings to provide
an easily recognizable and phonemically accessible cue for the individual
grapheme being represented. The cues include the 26 letters of the
alphapbet, short vowels, consonant blends, digraphs, endings and vowel
combinations, open-syllable, long vowels, vowel-consonant-e, and less
common single vowel sounds. The individual cards provide the format
for the teacher/tutor/parent to customize their lesson and simplify
instruction. |
