How to Complete

There are several ways that the Alphabet Flashcards can be used, including a traditional flip the card and identify the initial sound, sorting the cards into beginning sound categories or playing a game of memory. Refer to the information sheet included with the resource for additional suggestions. Please note that the flashcards will need to be printed and cut before use.

Additional Tips

1. Print the flashcards on thick card for longevity. The flashcards are designed to be printed double-sided, ensure that flip on the short edge is selected in the printing options.
2. Pair the flashcards with physical objects representing the images for a hands-on sensory experience.
3. Use the flashcards to teach alphabetical order or to practise identifying vowels and consonants.

Extension Ideas

1. Storytelling: Ask students to create a short story using objects from a few flashcards.
2. Word Building: Use the flashcards to spell simple words using the initial sound of each image. For example, arranging the cards banana, apple and turtle in order would spell bat.
3. Alphabetical Order: Have students arrange the cards in alphabetical order. For an additional challenge, have students arrange the images in each sound category in alphabetical order.
