Heart Words

Learn all your Heart Words off by heart. Heart Words by Rainbow Phonics is a set of 93 double-sided cards that provide visual clues as to how to learn heart words (also termed irregular, tricky or common exception words).  On the front-side of each card is the Heart Word along with sound buttons and a visual clue (heart icon) color-coded in pink to show the non-decodable part of the word. On the reverse is a phoneme frame, with the tricky part of the word missing so the student can use the write and wipe surface to add the letter (or grapheme). The other letters that are tricky are presented along with phoneme speech bubbles. Together these visual clues help children sound the Heart Word out and see the exceptions to the decoding rules.  The outside borders are color-coded in accordance with the phases of Rainbow Phonics. Cards also integrate with the lessons in the Teacher Planners at the different grade levels.
