Phonics cards

 Yesterday I tried to find good phonics cards to recommend. I found some good English teaching materials, but not phonics cards.

 The reason that I didn’t find any good ones was that they put big Alphabet and small Alphabet on the cards. For example, “A says a, a, apple”—had A and a written on the card. If they are aiming at students who can recognize and read alphabets, then this should be fine. However, if the students’ level or age is low, they should see only big alphabet or small alphabet only. Usually, most words are written with small alphabet letters, so phonics might have to be introduced after they remember big alphabet and small alphabet shapes and names.

 Hopefully, I’ll have a chance to make phonics cards for both students who can recognize and read alphabets, and students who can’t.

 There are lots of English teaching materials, but I guess all of them have advantages and disadvantages. I hope English teaching is going to be more productive and helpful for the learners and I wish to help making good materials, too.
