This educational tool was designed to help young children—and older children with learning disabilities—learn the letters of the alphabet and put them together to make syllables and words. Teachers, tutors, and parents can use it to demonstrate the often subtle differences between the shapes of letters, the sounds those letters make, and how to blend them phonetically to sound out two- and three-letter words and syllables. Flipping the cards makes 1,500 combinations, called “C-V-C trigrams,” the building blocks of language.
