Gone are the days of A for apple, B for Ball...this is the time of synthetic phonics where each alphabet has a sound. Now, you don't teach children the name of the letter but the sound made by the letter. A has the sound that comes when we say the word apple, b has the sound that comes when we say bed, and so on and so forth. There are different systems of synthetic phonics but I have felt that Jolly Phonics is the best system. In fact, I made my first mobile app for my son based on the Jolly Phonics style of teaching. However, I know that many people want to limit screen exposure for their children so I decided to make these flashcards.
You can use these flashcards independently or you can use them along with my app called Phonics Fun, available on the Google Play Store.You can hear the sounds from my app. Practice using these flashcards and then, test learning using my app too...a win-win situation :)The Jolly Phonics flash cards are double-sided. I have told you in my previous articles about how you can use my double-sided cards. If you have never used my double-sided cards, then check them out below for a fun learning experience for your children:

So, let me tell you how you can use my double-sided flashcards:
How to Use:
Cut out an A4 size cardboard paper or you can even recycle an empty cereal box. Cut in the middle lengthwise. Print out the flashcards on A4 size paper.
If you like doing worksheets with your children, then as a parent I would personally recommend purchasing an inktank printer such as Canon's megatank printer. I am in love with how economical and efficient these new ink tank printers are; the printer has made my life so much easier as I don't have to rush to the market to get printouts and the printer doesn't even require frequent refills: a win-win situation! The following printer is available on Amazon so just click here to purchase it from the comfort of your home and get it delivered to your home easily and conveniently.

Put a piece of cardboard in the middle of the printed paper and glue the paper around it. Cut out the flashcards. You will get four double-sided flashcards from each printout. You can make all flashcards waterproof by covering them with Scotch tape.
Each flashcard has a picture on one side with its phonemes drawn as dots. The child has to tell the sound for the red dot. The other side of the card has the letter (consonant or vowel) or digraph or trigraph along with the name of the picture. I have used the Jolly Phonics order to make these cards but you can use these cards in any order. I would recommend the Jolly Phonics order because the children can start blending sounds to read words very quickly.

So, without further ado, let me present a bird's eye view of what you will get inside the pdf for the Phonics Flash Cards.
