Alphabet Flashcards A–Z with Pictures (PDF)
26 fold-over letter cards: capital and small letter on the front, a picture that starts with the letter's sound on the back. Cut, fold, glue — 3.5 × 2.5 in cards with a hole for a binder ring.
Fold-over A–Z cards: the letter on one side, a picture of something that starts with its sound on the other, so a child can check their own answer by flipping.
What’s inside
- 26 double-sided cards, 4 per page, 3.5 × 2.5 in (a standard playing-card size).
- Front: big capital and small letter (Aa). Back: a picture that starts with the letter's sound — ant for a, egg for e.

How to use it
- Print single-sided, fold each card along the middle line, then cut along the outer border — a glue stick inside the fold makes them sturdy.
- Show the letter side and ask for the sound. Your child flips the card to check with the picture.
- Play "grab it": lay out five cards, say a sound, and your child grabs the matching letter.
- Keep vowels (a, e, i, o, u) in their own pile for extra practice — they're the letters CVC words hinge on.
Who it’s for
Ages 3–6, during Stages 1–2 while single letter sounds are being learned. Pictures help pre-readers who can't yet check a word.
