3-Part Classified Reading Cards
Reading for Interest
These materials let learners read about things that matter to them all at the word-level. These 3-part cards are designed with a built-in control of error which allows for truly independent reading.
Having someone hovering over us and telling us when we get something wrong is not terribly helpful! Neither is the process of waiting for someone else to tell us if we're right or wrong.
But we don't need a computer interface to give us self-correcting, instant feedback. We can use 3-part cards. These allow learners to work with the vocabulary they are learning, to see if they really understand what it means, and to have the opportunity to correct their own errors.
This is such a simple format that meets so many needs.
Use 3-part cards:
- When children just begin reading (see our Phonetic 3-Part Cards)
- When children are ready to read non-phonetic words but not quite ready for books (see classified 3-part cards listed below)
- To expand content knowledge and follow the learner's interest with Zoology 3-Part Cards and Parts of 3-Part cards
- When learning to read in any language (see our Spanish, French, German, and Chinese 3-Part Cards)
Approximate card sizes are 3¾” x 4¼” (control cards), 3¾“ x 3” (photo cards), and 3¾” x 1¼” (word cards). For more information, download our free lesson plan describing how to use 3-part reading classification cards.

We also offer many of our classified 3-part reading cards as vocabulary and matching cards; these contain the same photos but in a slightly larger format and without the distraction of the written word. It is great to have all three sets in one classroom so that the 3-year olds (using vocabulary cards), 4-year-olds (using matching cards), and 5+ year-olds (using 3-part reading cards) can all be exploring the same topic--great for classroom community building!
CUSTOMER REVIEWS
"The quality of the 3-part reading cards was excellent. The company has certainly created a useful product. Their informative instructions and guidelines for age appropriate usage with children was appreciated. Children themselves will be intrigued and have a natural curiosity to match the pictures and words. I look forward to purchasing other card selections from Matri Learning."
