Flash cards — 26 lower-case letter sounds
26 lower-case sounds

Laminated alpha-pic flash cards, one for every lower-case letter. Each card pairs a letter with a hidden-letter picture, so children connect the sound to the shape as they look, say and spot.

Flash cards — 26 Capital letter sounds
26 Capital sounds

The same 26 letters in their Capital form. Use them alongside the lower-case set so children recognise both versions of every letter sound.

3 Explore · Age 3+
Matching letter sounds to alpha-pics
Sound — picture matching

Matching cards that link each letter sound — lower case and Capital — to its alpha-pic, turning sound–shape recognition into a simple, playful matching game.
