Wall Display Cards
The 118 individual cards provide the format for the teacher/tutor/parent to customize their lesson and simplify instruction. Each of the colorful cards is satin varnished with rounded corners for durability. The images were carefully selected and have been field tested in diverse educational settings. The pictures provide an easily recognizable and phonemically accessible cue for the individual grapheme being represented. The back of each card is printed with a list of words that fit that particular letter and sound pattern.
• Alphabet & Single Vowels
• Consonant & Vowel Combination
Posters
The four 24″ x 31″ coated, colorful posters are intended to be a constant reference point in the home or classroom. They can and should be referred to for reading, spelling and pronunciation. Each poster is large enough to be seen across a classroom, school library, computer lab or student’s bedroom. They are small enough to fit into a school laminator.

Student Cueing Sheets
The 5 student cueing sheets make the cues portable. They are blackline masters and can be duplicated. Some creative uses include bingo and memory games, puzzles, a visual for students’ binders and a reference sheet for tutors. They create an important link between school and home.
A cueing script takes the students through the decoding process.
Audio Pronunciation
The audio provides a model for both the accurate pronunciation of each cue and sound and the process for introducing the picture cues. The audio also includes a pronunciation key for the phonetically regular nonsense syllables and the manual that can be read on the computer. The PhonicsQ audio was designed for use by teachers, students and parents and may be copied for educational purposes.
Playing Cards
The 118 PhonicsQ Playing cards are 3″ x 4.5″ and in full-color. The deck also includes 5 “rule” cards and 4 blanks. They can be used for games, small group instruction and as flash cards.
