Free Printable Flashcards: Long Vowel Flashcards

December 19, 2019 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

Time for another set of free printable flashcards! Piglet is doing great with recognizing her letters, so it’s time to work on letter sounds.

I’m not a GIANT fan of teaching phonics, but you know what? They work. Especially if kids don’t really “get” sight words.

So, today we’re sharing another set of literacy flashcards: Long Vowel Flashcards!

Read on to get your set – free!

And if you love using these, be sure to grab our printable short vowel flashcards too!

Free Printable Flashcards: Long Vowel Flashcards

To use these long vowel flashcards, you’ll need the following: (Affiliate links are provided here for convenience. For details, see our Disclosure Policy.)

Printer (with ink)
Printer Paper
Scissors
Laminator (great for keeping the cards sturdy)

This product includes flashcards for all five long vowel sounds: A, E, I, O, and U. In the product, you’ll find:

A set of cards with pictures and long vowel words for each letter
A set of cards with pictures and vowel letters
A set of cards with just the pictures
A set of cards with just the vowels
And a set of cards with just the long vowel words

These are set up to be used as kids learn to memorize the sounds.

So if you’re just starting out, you might use the cards that have the images and words to make sure kids know what each picture shows.

Once they recognize the images, they can move on to isolating the vowel sounds in each word. That’s a great time to focus on the pictures with the letters.

After they get the sounds down, try quizzing them with the word or letter cards!

Printable Zoo Animal Flashcards

December 6, 2018 by Selena Robinson 5 Comments

I’m happy to share a brand new pack of printable flashcards with you all today! This time we’re featuring printable Zoo Animal Flashcards!

We go to the zoo often with the kids and they always love spotting new animals or even ones they’ve come to know and love over the years. So I thought that they’d love having some flashcards to learn about new animals and to look out for them when we tour the zoo again.

These would also be a nice introduction to animal diets or animal habitats, especially since so many creatures that live in the zoo require different environments to feel at home.

Read on to see how to get these animal flashcards for yourself! And if you love these, don’t miss our Alphabet Animal Flashcards for early learners!

Printable Zoo Animal Flashcards for Kids

To use these printable zoo animal flashcards, you’ll need the following: (This post contains affiliate links. For details, see our Disclosure Policy.)

Printer (with ink)
Printer Paper
Scissors
Laminator (optional)

These cards are awesome for introducing kids to wildlife.

Rather than cartoon animals like our A to Z Alphabet Flashcards, these zoo animal flashcards show actual pictures of animals. Kids will get to actually “see” what these animals look like!

You could use these to help your kids get ready for a trip to zoo!

Try passing out the cards among your kids and challenging them to find as many of these animals as they can during a trip.

You could also have your kids pick one of the cards out of a bag and then do a quick report on it by the end of the week.

These would also be a good busy bag activity for little ones.

Since the product includes one set of animal cards with the animal names and one without the names, kids can practice matching up similar pictures.

Or you could just use the unlabeled cards to introduce wild creatures to pre-readers!

If you’d rather not laminate these, you could just print them on white cardstock like I did. They’ll still hold up to little hands pretty well that way.
