Graphemes Deck 2 (21 Cards) -cursive

Description

This expanded deck combines two essential phonics building blocks into one resource. Students begin with the many roles the letter Y plays in English spelling and reading — covering y and a card that merges consonant and vowel , one of the trickiest concepts for early readers since can act as both a vowel and a consonant depending on context.

From there, the deck moves into vowel digraphs and trigraphs, covering vowel teams and r-controlled vowels: ai, au, aw, ay, ee, oi, ou, ow, oy, wh, ild-type patterns, prefix patterns like fa/wa, and the r-controlled vowels ar, er, ir, or, ur, plus doubled consonants like bb/gg. These patterns bridge basic phonics and more advanced decoding, giving students the tools to tackle multisyllabic words with confidence.

Together, this deck offers a natural progression — from mastering Y’s dual role to building fluency with more complex vowel patterns — making it a strong next step after Deck 1.
