How to use them 🎲

Keep letter play relaxed and curious, using the cards for conversation, noticing, and shared discovery.

1. Show one card at a time — let the child look closely at the letter, picture, and matching word.

2. Say the letter and word together — read both aloud and invite the child to join in.

3. Invite pointing or repeating — let the child point to the card or repeat the letter or word if they would like to.

4. Talk about the first sound when appropriate — notice the sound at the start of the word together, remembering that pronunciation can vary by accent.

5. Match letters with objects or books — look for a familiar item or picture that connects with the card.

6. Arrange cards in alphabetical order — start with a small group and build towards A to Z when suitable.

7. Play “find the letter” games — choose a card and look for that letter in a book, sign, or familiar place.

8. Trace or copy letters with an adult — explore the shape of a letter together at an easy pace.

9. Revisit the cards during stories, songs, play, or daily routines — bring them back whenever a short letter moment feels welcome.
