Word Building Activity

Make your own flashcards and start building basic words with your child. Featuring a selection of pictogram and plain letter cards from First Reading Flashcards for you to print, and cut out. See how many words you and your child can make with only these seven letters: s, m, t, p, a, e, p.

Top tip: stick the Letterland character card to its plain letter to make double-sided cards. Once your child is familiar with all the characters and their sounds, you can test them by using the plain letter side of the card, then flipping it to show them whether they are right. As they get better at this, you can start building words using just the plain letters.
