Please note:

These cards are designed for practice and review alongside your reading instruction. Select words and sentences based on the letter–sound relationships and irregular words your students have already learned. Some sentences may require educator support.

The hearts identify heart words; they do not mark individual irregular spelling patterns within the words.
