Our Phonics Learning Flashcards For Homeschoolers
![]() |
Help support new readers or young learners with these phonics cards. All of these sets are companion resources to other creations on our site. We really like to integrate as many resources as we can to make the biggest impact on learners as possible.
Cards come with families or groups of words that end in the same sound making learning sounds and words easier for many children. An animal graphic on one side represents the word family in some way. The other side of the card has family word lists. The asterisk marks the word that goes with the graphic for added fun.
To use these resources print out pages, cut, fold and glue sides together. We recommend laminating the cards for durability as they tend to get a lot of use.
