Blending Consonants & Digraphs Flash Cards

Support young readers on their phonics journey with Blending Consonants and Digraphs: A Fun Way to Learn-a thoughtfully designed educational card set that helps children aged 5 and up develop essential literacy skills. This comprehensive resource includes 61 double-sided sound cards featuring 427 words that incorporate 47 different blends and digraphs, such as bl, cl, st, mp, ch, sh, th, and ph. Each card presents not only a target word but also a helpful example sentence, allowing children to see how the word functions within everyday language. This contextual approach makes learning more meaningful and supports vocabulary development. The cards are laminated for long-term use, with rounded corners and colour coding for easy sorting and identification. Designed to be interactive, the set encourages learners to practise sounding out, reading aloud, sorting cards, and building fluency at their own pace. Four additional double-sided activity guide cards provide further phonics exercises, making it a versatile tool for independent or guided learning. Whether used at home or in the classroom, this set offers a hands-on, effective method for mastering consonant blends and digraphs while building reading confidence in an engaging and tactile way.

Educational Benefits:

• Reinforces the connection between sounds and letter combinations through repeated exposure to blends and digraphs.
