First spelling words, set 2

Designed by Speech Pathologists for use in schools.

• Early spelling concepts are introduced in progressive steps.
• The cards are based upon PLD’s ‘structured synthetic phonics’ (SSP) approach.
• Multiple cards focus on each spelling concept to accommodate ample opportunities to rehearse.
• Cards target: sh, ch, th, oo (long sound), oo (short sound) ee, ck, CCVC and CVCC words.
