Very useful learning tool
I bought these flashcards for my 4 year old son to complement his school literacy program and I believe they have really aided his learning. The cards are printed both sides, one side with the plain letter and the other with the letter plus appropriate illustration and sound guide. They are very colourful and easy to handle and come complete with several cards explaining how to use the letter cards to the best advantage. I gave my son a new card for every new letter sound he learnt at school which he seemed to regard as a treat! Because the cards are simple but fun and easy to use we've been able to spend a quick ten minutes or so every day practising the individual sounds or blending several together to make words or playing little sound/word games which has made learning a lot more fun in short bursts. My only criticism is that the short phrase used as a guide for writing the letters is not included on the card. This would have been quite useful. Nonetheless, I would recommend these cards to anyone starting on the Read Write Inc. scheme.

Fantastic my 2 year old loves them and has learnt quickly
I have a 2 and a half year old bright little girl, I thought about teaching her the alphabet but didnt know where to start, these cards make it easy and in bite sized fun chunks, in 2 months my daughter nearly knows them all and now points to random letters and says their sound, they are a bargain for the use you will get from them, just bought the more phonics flashcards too which are a bit more advanced combining letters to make sounds "au" ai oo ee etc great

Good
This has helped my child continue the good work she is doing at school at home...
