Word Builders Activity Cards

Word Builders Activity Cards includes a set of 40 picture cards for building more complex words. This can be done with the Word Builders Tri-Blocks which are sold separately. The colour-coded dots and lines on the cards help children identify individual letter sounds and combined letter sounds within words. Cards are self-checking with answers on the back. The cards are colour coded in five different colours on the border of the card. This indicates the different levels of difficulty.

These Word Builders Activity Cards are designed to extend phonics and word-building skills beyond simple CVC words, helping children explore more advanced phoneme-grapheme patterns, including digraphs, blends, and multisyllabic words. The engaging full-colour cards use symbols and colour-coded borders to guide learners through five levels of difficulty, making them ideal for differentiation across a range of abilities. The front of each card provides a visual cue and colour-coded phoneme support, while the reverse includes the complete word and answer, fostering independence and self-correction. Compatible with the Word Builders Tri-Blocks (sold separately), these cards help strengthen phonemic awareness, spelling, decoding, and vocabulary development. They are especially useful in small group instruction, literacy stations, or one-on-one intervention. This versatile and structured resource supports the progression from basic to more complex reading and spelling skills.
