Print at home

No screen needed.

One sheet. Looking for the letters? The alphabet.

First words

Point at each letter, make its sound, then say them faster and faster until the word falls out. Let them be wrong — the pictures are the clue, and they'll get there.

Using these without the app

Ten minutes is plenty, and the order doesn't matter. Some things that help:

If a letter stumps them, name the picture, not the letter: “that's the cat one” — then make the sound c.
Stop while they still want more.

If you'd rather see how the fading works, check out the how it works page — the alphabet sheet prints at all three steps, so the fade is on paper too.

Print freely, at home or in a classroom — see the terms. If a sheet prints badly on your setup, tell us.
