This comprehensive Montessori Green Series material includes 65 laminated phonogram word-list cards. Each card focuses on one phonogram or spelling pattern and contains five to eight carefully selected words. The target pattern is highlighted in red in every word, giving the child a clear visual focus.
The 65 cards cover vowel patterns and vowel teams including ai, ay, ea as in head, bear, and tea; ee, ey, ie as in pie and priest; oa, oe, oi, oy, oo as in book and spoon; ou, ow as in cow and snow; ue, ew, au, aw, air, ear, eer, oar, oor, ore, a as in walk, and al.
Additional phonograms and spelling patterns include ar, er, ir, ur, or as in storm and worm; sh, ch as in chip and chemist, th, wh, ph, kn, wr, tch, dge, ge, ce, le, sion, tion, ture, on, and final y as in fly and teddy. The set also includes a-e, i-e, o-e, u-e, igh, long i as in blind, soft c, soft g, silent t, and silent b in mb.
Children practice reading each phonogram in several different words rather than learning the pattern in isolation. This repeated work helps them recognize the spelling pattern, connect it with its sound, and decode unfamiliar words with increasing confidence.
The cards provide thorough phonogram practice and support the child’s transition from the Pink and Blue Series to more independent reading and writing.
