These Phonemic Awareness Teacher Cards are an extremely versatile resource that can be used individually, in rotations, or in whole class settings, particularly when you have 5 minutes spare in the day. These cards help students to develop their phonemic awareness as they begin to generate words that contain specific sounds. These prompting cards can be altered to focus on initial, medial, or final sounds depending on the level of difficulty you require for your students. This can also be extended into spelling the words that have been generated.
