A, Apple, /a/

The week before winter break I pulled together some of my resources and made a stack of letter/word/sound flashcards to practice with Kyle. I know he's a baby and all, but whenever he's in a super attentive mood (and I think about it), I whip out his cards and go over them with him. It sounds something like this:

A, Apple, /a/. A, Apple, /a/
B, Bat, /b/. B, Bat, /b/
C, Cat, /k/. C, Cat, /k/

I have one card for every letter of the alphabet, and a bunch of digraph and chunk cards. Digraphs are two letters together that make one sound like the /ch/ in chin or the /sh/ in ship. Chunks are groups of letters readers should be able to glance at and immediately know the sound they make because they appear together often like /all/ in ball or /ing/ in ring.

So far Kyle seems to smile at the pictures and laugh when I flip the cards ;)
