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.
  • A cover page with the fold and cut lines explained.

How to use it

  1. 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.
  2. Show the letter side and ask for the sound. Your child flips the card to check with the picture.
  3. Play "grab it": lay out five cards, say a sound, and your child grabs the matching letter.
  4. 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.
