Each front has everything a young child needs on one side: the letter pair, a coloured picture and its word, like Aa, an apple and Apple. The back lists three more everyday words for the same letter (ant, arm, axe), to read together and to think of more. For X, the back gives words that end in x, such as box and fox, because so few simple words start with it. Great for toddlers and preschool letter time.

How to print and use these cards

The PDF has 6 pages: 3 sheets of 9 card fronts, each followed by its backs. Print double-sided and flip on the long edge, or glue each back page to its front before cutting. Then cut on the dashed lines.

Ways to play

  • Read the front together, then turn over and read the three words on the back: do they all start with the same sound?
  • Ask the child to find something in the room that starts with the letter on the card.
  • Play “I spy” with the cards spread out: “I spy something beginning with f”.

Printing tips

  • Print one sheet double-sided first to check how your printer lines up the backs.
  • Keep each set in an envelope or a zip bag, and write the set’s name on it.
  • Mix in two or three cards a child already knows, so every practice starts with a win.
