How to use it?

An adult cuts along the dotted lines and places one (colour) set of x6 word cards or all x23 word cards on a table top - depending on the needs of your learner/s. Learners look at an image on the left, sound it out and write the graphemes for each word on the lines (on the right). Visual answer sheets (for all sets) are included, which learners can use themselves to encourage autonomy.
