Why are the 'ur' Words phonic cards important?

Our 'ur' Words flashcards are important because they help children decode the 'ur' sound. This will add to their overall understanding of letters and sounds.

The flashcards provide an opportunity to re-enforce the phonetical 'ur' sound. The constant visual aid will help them to consolidate and retain the information. 

It is important that children learn phonics because it helps with the development of their reading and writing. Children need to learn the sounds each letter makes, so that they understand how words can change from the addition of letters. For example, adding an 'e' to the end of 'mad', will change the sound and meaning.  

The 'ur' Words phonetic cards will also help children explore speech and language. Learning new sounds, words, and meanings will add to their vocabulary, meaning they will be able to communicate better.
