30 laminated letter and punctuation cards for word building

The Alphabet Card Set - Neutral from Autopress Education is a set of 30 laminated cards. It covers the lower-case letters a to z plus four punctuation cards: full stop, comma, question mark and exclamation mark. Each card measures 6.5cm x 5cm.

Letter cards let children build a word by placing and moving letters, rather than writing the word out. This makes it easier to try a spelling, spot a mistake and fix it straight away. The punctuation cards extend the activity from single words to complete sentences.

For schools

• Use in phonics, spelling and sentence-building activities with individuals or small groups.
• Laminated cards for regular handling in literacy lessons and interventions.
• A low-cost set that is easy to buy as a class set.

For parents and home learning

• A simple way to practise spellings from school at home.
• Children can make, check and change words without rubbing out.
• Small cards that are easy to store and bring out for short practice sessions.

Support for dyslexia and SEND

Many dyslexic learners find spelling easier when they can see and move each letter, because it breaks a word into manageable parts. Building words with cards also takes away the pressure of handwriting, so the focus stays on the sounds and letters. The cards suit pupils with wider special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) who benefit from hands-on, multisensory literacy activities.

The Alphabet Card Set is a practical, affordable addition to any literacy resource box, whether at school or at home.
