Phase 5 Grapheme Cards Set 1
Support early reading and phonics progression with this Phase 5 grapheme card set, designed to reinforce new graphemes introduced during Phase 5 of the Letters and Sounds phonics sequence. Perfect for whole-class phonics sessions, small group work, or 1:1 reading interventions, these printable grapheme flashcards help children practise both alternative spellings and new phonemes introduced in Year 1 phonics teaching.
This set includes high-quality, easy-to-read cards featuring key Phase 5 graphemes such as ay, ou, oy, ea, ir, ie, ue, u, o, i, a, e and split digraphs like a-e, i-e, o-e, u-e, e-e, along with ew, ie, aw. Each card shows a single grapheme alongside a picture prompt and example word to aid phoneme-grapheme correspondence and build confident decoding skills.
Use as part of your daily phonics lesson, add to your phonics working wall, or send home for extra reading practice. Ideal for teachers following any systematic synthetic phonics programme aligned to the 2021 Letters and Sounds progression.
Teaching tip
Laminate these cards for long-term use and introduce them as each new grapheme is taught. Encourage children to read the word aloud, identify the focus sound, and use the image as a decoding clue. You can also display them on a classroom sound chart or use them in grapheme treasure hunts to keep learning engaging and active.
