3-Part Reading Cards
Once children begin to read, they have a voracious appetite for the written word! Yet, they are often not ready for traditional first
reader books. These 3-part Reading Cards are the perfect next step for the emergent reader. Use these to continue the
pattern of work established with the
Phonetic Reading Cards!  Children read the words on the separate word cards and
match them to the picture-only cards. Then, they use the control cards (which include the words and pictures) to check their
own work.

These packets are also available as
vocabulary cards (for the 2-3 year old) and matching cards (for the 3-4 year old).
Imagine the excitement of the emergent reader when s/he gets to work with the words that go with the photos s/he has come
to know so well! Card sizes are as follows: 12 control cards are 3¾” x 4¼”; 12 picture cards are 3¾“ x 3”; and 12 word cards
are 3¾” x 1¼”
(36 cards in each packet). We recommend using only 6 subjects at a time. With 12 subjects in each packet, that
means you get two work rotations per packet. What a great way to add variety and maintain interest! Download our free
