This set of cards gives children practice in identifying vowel sounds. To complete a card, children look at a picture and listen for the vowel sound as they name the picture. Then children match the sound with the written letter. Understanding the correspondence between letter and sounds is the basis of phonics instruction and helps children recognize familiar words and decode new words.
