Use Abeka's Basic Phonics Flashcards to introduce and drill the phonics special sounds. The clue word for each sound will help your child learn the sound quickly through association. The front of the card features the special sound and its clue word illustrated and spelled out. On the back are several practice words incorporating the sound. Your child will master the names and sounds of the five short vowels, 21 consonants, the ability to combine a consonant and vowel to make a blend and to demonstrate the knowledge of phonics in reading. This invaluable teaching aid covers all phonics and special sounds in the Basic Phonics Reading Program. The 132 color-keyed cards match the large and small phonics charts for easy reference.
