Instructional Ideas

  • To reduce stress, introduce only a few of the words at one time
  • 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

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

  • Only one sound is featured on each of the cards in the series
  • Attached to the resource is a scrabble game that features the /ae/ sound

Cons

  • None
