Support beginning readers with these engaging Decodable Sound Button Reading Cards, designed to complement any structured synthetic phonics program. These cards provide students with explicit practice in segmenting and blending sounds to read fully decodable words.

Students touch each sound button as they say the corresponding sound, then blend the sounds together to read the whole word. This multisensory approach strengthens phonemic awareness, sound-symbol correspondence, and decoding skills while building reading confidence.

Perfect for:

• Explicit phonics instruction
• Small group intervention
• Literacy rotations
• Independent practice
• Reading support programs
• Home reading reinforcement

Features:

✔ Fully decodable words

✔ Sound buttons to support segmenting and blending

✔ Systematic progression of phonics skills

✔ Ideal for beginning readers and students requiring extra decoding practice

✔ Easy to print, laminate, and reuse

✔ Organised into sequential sets that gradually introduce new sounds

Phonics Sequence Included:

Set 1: m, s, t, a

Set 2: p, f, i, r

Set 3: o, c, d, h

Set 4: e, n, g, l

Set 5: k, u, b, j

Set 6: w, ck, ll, ff, ss

Set 7: sh, qu, ee, z/zz

Set 8: ch, v, x, y

Set 9: wh, th, oo, ng, ay

Each set contains words that can be decoded using only the sounds that have been explicitly taught up to that point. This allows students to experience success, consolidate previously learned sounds, and develop automaticity as new phonics concepts are introduced.

These cards are a practical, low-prep resource for Foundation and early primary classrooms, providing targeted decoding practice that supports students as they move from sounding out words to fluent reading.
