🃏 Tricky Word Flashcards
Print double-sided · cut along the dashed lines · fold each card in half.
| FRONT (large, child-facing) | BACK (teaching tip · bonus question) |
|---|---|
the [Illustrator: a friendly arrow pointing to "the cat" — show the word in context.] | 📖 Teaching tip: "the" is everywhere — point it out 5 times in any storybook. Doesn't sound the way it looks. Just memorise! 🚀 Bonus leap: Can you say a sentence with "the" twice? |
said [Illustrator: speech bubble coming from a smiling face.] | 📖 Teaching tip: Looks like it should sound like "say-id" but it sounds like "sed". A famous tricky word! 🚀 Bonus leap: "Mum ___ hello." Fill the gap! |
was [Illustrator: a clock turning backwards, showing past time.] | 📖 Teaching tip: "was" is for things that already happened. The "a" sounds like "o" — sneaky! 🚀 Bonus leap: "Yesterday I ___ at the park." Fill the gap! |
you [Illustrator: a child pointing to the reader with a friendly smile.] | 📖 Teaching tip: "you" means the person being talked to. Three letters, one sound: "yoo". 🚀 Bonus leap: Who is "you" right now — you, or the person you're reading with? |
