Before your child can start to read, he or she needs to learn to :
* Say the sound that is represented by each letter (or letters)
* 'Sound out' the word, e.g. c-a-t, sh-o-p, s-t-r-ee-t


In Read Write Inc. Phonics, the individual sounds are called 'Speed sounds'. These Phonics Flashcards include the letter sounds a-z and the sounds sh, ch th, nk and ng - the sounds your child needs to learn to read Storybooks 1a to 3b.

72 sound and picture cards (including ten instruction cards with fun activities for practising sound-blending with your child).
