Letter and word cards

Every book starts with a two-minute warm-up on index cards: its new letters and words, then a few old ones. Here are all 50 cards for Set 1, book by book, in the order the books teach them.

Steps to make them

  1. 1Get 50 index cards

    3 × 5 inch, plain or lined.

  2. 2Write one letter or word per card

    Big and neat.

  3. 3Have both capitalized and uncapitalized versions

    Lowercase on the front, capital on the back.

  4. 4Number the corner

    So the stack stays in order.

Hover over or tap any card below to see the capital on its back.
