Not all words play by the phonics rules—that’s why Heart Words matter. Our Heart Word Flashcards are designed to help children master those tricky high-frequency words they need to “know by heart” to read and write with fluency.

Grounded in orthographic mapping, these cards highlight the decodable and tricky parts of each word, and are perfect for foundation phase classrooms, intervention sessions, or home practice.

Our heart word flashcards give students the skills they need to store these words in long-term memory—efficiently and effectively.

Whether you’re a teacher, tutor, or parent, these flashcards will fast-track your child’s high frequency tricky word recognition while reinforcing essential phonics knowledge.

Includes 72 heart (tricky) words. Just print and use. Easy as that!
