About this resource

What is in this resource?

This resource includes word wall cards for the ED word family. This set contains both CVC and CCVC words in two different formats. On each card you will find an illustration which is representing an ED word that is written in large font for students to recognize and read easily. Students will be able to match the illustration with the ED word. There are two sets included in this resource, one with words on the cards in black letters and the other have the rime highlighted in red. This allows students to easily blend onset and rime to read each word.
