Level 1: Simplest phonetic words
Every word in this set is truly phonetic. These are the simplest, first words a child reads. The packets
are grouped to help avoid common letter confusions (eg, b with d). Start with Packet A then work at the
child's pace through each remaining packet in this level. When the child is confident with all packets,
move on to
Level 2.  Each Packet contains 6 control cards (3¾” x 4¼”), 6 matching picture cards (3¾” x
3”), and 6 word cards (3¾” x 1¼”); 18 cards in each packet all with rounded corners. Download our free
lesson plans for detailed instructions on how to use these cards.
