The Phonics pack consists of 37 double-sided cards with simplistic and engaging illustrations of animals doing sports and activities, because… why can’t a bear play badminton or a penguin go paddleboarding? Each animal has a name to help identify and make the phonic sound more relatable, you will meet Ollie the octopus, Lara the lion, Gary the goat amongst many other new friends.
As well as your child learning letter sounds, they will be empowered with lots of new activities and sports that they can achieve. Teach them that the world is their oyster and anyone can do anything if they really put their mind to it.
We know Phonics can seem daunting but we’ve done all the hard work for you. With our simple to follow instruction cards, you will find everything you need to follow your exciting phonics journey. We will teach you how to use our cards, sound blending, pronunciation, phonics terminology and even phonic games – we’ve got you covered. Each learning group has been cleverly segmented into their own letter groups by colour, so you can concentrate on one group at a time. From there you can start to introduce sound blending where we will start you off by giving you examples of simple words.

As a parent, we know that anything that simplifies and clarifies things is incredibly helpful. But don’t just take our word for it. Here’s a quick summary from a teacher who has already seen our cards has said…
“Any resources that give the child a chance to be creative/create their own games are great and the activity suggestions also give parents a springboard too. The design of the cards are great in terms of engagement – colourful, clear and great examples given. I love the dot underneath or line to indicate the pronunciation – incredibly helpful and quite unique (not seen that on anything before) I have seen a lot of resources on phonics, there are a lot out there but what I like about these is the simplicity of them. As a parent, anything that simplifies and clarifies things is incredibly helpful!”
