Based upon PLD’s ‘structured synthetic phonics’ (SSP) approach, designed by Speech Pathologists for teachers and parents, First Spelling Words – Set 2 is an ideal resource for students aged 5 to 6 to introduce early spelling. Multiple cards focus on each spelling concept and accommodate ample opportunities to rehearse. The instruction outlines three different ways to present the learning activity.

Divided into 8 progressive steps, the single word spelling cards contained in this resource are:

STEP 1: sh cards (Example: shed, rash, shut, cash, ship, lash)
STEP 2: ch cards (Example: chug, chin, rich, chop, chat, chip)
STEP 3: th cards (Example: thin, three, them, that, this, with)
STEP 4: long and short oo cards (Example: moon, root, hoop, boot, book, wood)
STEP 5: ee cards (Example: jeep, reef, heel, deep, feed, peep)
STEP 6: ck cards (Example: lock, kick, sack, back, suck, sock)
STEP 7: CCVC word cards (Example: twin, drop, plum, flag, slip, twig)
STEP 8: CVCC word cards (Example: tusk, gift, gold, wind, lamp, left)
