The Adventures in Phonics: Flashcards and Charts introduce and drill the upper- and lower-case letters of the alphabet and most diphthongs, digraphs, blends, and modified sounds used in the English language. The front of each card shows the letter or phonics sound, while the back provides the instructor with a pronunciation guide. The charts contain listings of words that follow each phonics rule and are designed to reinforce the phonics sound being presented.

I bought the Adventures in Phonics Level A workbook and TM, so I figured we'd need the flashcards as well, since they were mentioned as being used in the curriculum. And they weren't too expensive.
