Contrast Cards

The 29 cards in this set train the brain’s speech processor to say the sounds for the letter units, either in isolation or in the context of words. The cards for each group of contrasts are in different colors so that you can quickly find the ones you need for a lesson.

Each card is 8½” by 5½”. Here are two samples:

GRAY (6 cards) – to practice the sounds of the single vowels, one card for each vowel.

YELLOW (5 cards) – to contrast the short and long vowel sounds in closed and magic-e syllables, one card for each vowel.

GOLD (5 cards) – to find the correct vowel sound for closed and magic-e words with suffixes, one card for each vowel.

BLUE (2 cards) – to practice the sound of the vowels before r, vowel-r units and vowel-r-e units.

PINK (2 cards) – to practice the short vowel sounds embedded in closed syllables, a and i on one card, o, u, and e on one card.

ORANGE (6 cards) – to practice the sound of the vowel in the first syllable of consonant-l-e words, one for each vowel and one for vowel-r syllables.

BEIGE (3 cards) – to develop fluency with hard and soft sounds of c and g; one for a and e, one for o and i, one for u and y.
