What’s in these kindergarten flashcards?

These are word cards, not alphabet or picture cards. Each weekly list contains ten three-letter words with rhyming pairs, linked to a simple themed reader. The printable version has lowercase words in large letters, six cards per page, with dashed cutting lines. Open any week’s cards and use your browser’s print option to print or save as a PDF.

Online practice includes flashing words and writing or typing them. Start with Week 1, or browse the lists below to see which words your child is ready to practise. Helpful for students with dyslexia.
