Blending Consonants Giant Flash Cards

The Blending Consonants Giant Flash Cards are an interactive and engaging educational tool that makes learning phonics blends both fun and effective for early readers. Designed with young learners in mind, each of the 26 oversized cards features a clearly illustrated initial or final consonant blend, such as œgr, œtw, œsk, or œing, accompanied by a matching image and word to reinforce sound-symbol associations. These vibrant cards support the development of phonemic awareness by allowing children to hear, see, and practise blending consonant sounds in a hands-on way. With a large format that is easy to read and handle, these flash cards are perfect for classroom group work, reading rotations, literacy games, or one-on-one instruction. Their laminated finish ensures durability, making them ideal for daily use in busy learning environments. Whether students are building words aloud, matching blends to pictures, or using the cards to play phonics-based games, the Blending Consonants Giant Flash Cards offer an engaging multisensory approach to early literacy development. By encouraging children to decode and build words independently, these flash cards lay the groundwork for stronger reading fluency, improved vocabulary, and greater reading confidence.
