Alternative Spellings Picture Flashcards

Different spelling, same sound — now with a visual clue to help it stick.

Our alternative spellings picture flashcards pair each grapheme with a clear, child-friendly image and example word — like a-e with cake, ea with leaf, and ure with picture. Seeing the word alongside the sound helps children connect spelling patterns to real vocabulary they already recognise.

These cards are especially useful for:

• Reinforcing alternative spellings through memorable word examples
• Supporting both reading and early spelling skills
• Sorting and grouping spellings that make the same sound
• Sparking quick “spot the pattern” chats during shared reading

Use them in short bursts — say the sound, read the word, talk about the picture, and then hunt for that spelling in a book. Repetition plus recognition is a powerful combination.
