Phonics cards for Grade 1 Reading (3rd Edition). Not directly compatible with the 2nd edition (1985-1986)—the individual cards are almost all the same, but with a different sequencing system.

185 cards; 4.25" × 5.5"; coated on the front for easier handling

The Phonics cards are divided into 7 sets as follows:

• 1—The Alphabet (26 cards)
• 2—Consonant Sounds (32 cards)
• 3—Vowel Sounds (40 cards)
• 4—Combination Sounds (21 cards)
• 5—Consonant Blends (44 cards)
• 6—Letters With More Than One Sound (9 cards)
• 7—Silent Letters (13 cards)

Following is a list of what appears on each card, front and back.
