No, but they can be purchased separately on our website in both English and Spanish, or you can download a free set of printable English ABC flashcards here.  You can also use any pack of cards for this activity. 

You want the cards to be large enough for the whole class to be able to see at the same time.  It is important to read the Alphabet Knowledge section of the curriculum weekly to see if you should be practicing the cards in alphabetical order, out of alphabetical order, as well as when to introduce multiple sounds for letters, blends, digraphs, trigraphs and vowel combinations.  It is also important that you expose students to all the letters of the alphabet during this activity, so that students can master all of the letter names and sounds. 

We also recommend that cards be created for letters who appearance varies with different fonts (ɑ, a, g, g). When you show each letter card, the students respond chorally, as a whole group, saying “The letter is __, the sound is __.” All possible sounds should be included for each given letter, when appropriate.

In Spanish, we also use the syllable flip chart to support learners in reading and recognizing syllables with automaticity.  Letter cards and the syllable flip chart can be purchased on our website.
