Letter Flash Cards with Pictures and Handwriting Cues

These letter flash cards have pictures to help students remember the sounds and cues for writing the letters. For example, you'll see a bat for letter 'b' and directional arrows for handwriting. As soon as students master tthe sound with the keyword, switch over to flash cards without pictures.
