Alphabet Phoneme Cards A-Z - Free Mouth Formation and Sound Picture Cards

Help students focus on the sounds of spoken language with these free Alphabet Phoneme Cards A-Z! These visual cards are designed to support phonemic awareness and explicit sound instruction by pairing each phoneme with two powerful visual supports.

Each card features a realistic sound icon image students can associate with the target sound along with a realistic mouth formation photograph showing students how the mouth looks when producing that phoneme.

Most importantly, there are no graphemes printed on these cards. This intentional design allows teachers to use the cards for phonemic awareness instruction when the goal is to hear, identify, and produce sounds without introducing the written letter.

Students can study the mouth photograph, imitate the formation, say the phoneme, and connect the sound to the realistic sound icon. Later, teachers can intentionally connect these phonemes to their corresponding graphemes during phonics instruction.
