Instructional Ideas

• Laminate the cards to permit reuse
• Some learners with dyslexia benefit from reading materials printed in dark brown ink on beige paper rather than the stark black ink on white paper
• Introduce only a few words at one time to reduce stress

Classroom Considerations

• Although designed specifically for learners with dyslexia, the cards may be used to teach phonemic awareness to all those learning to read

Pros

• All the cards in the series feature the same typeface and include only one vowel sound on each card
• The /oul/ sound is features on a scrabble game attached to the resource

Cons

• None
