Your child has mastered CVC words and consonant blends. Now they're ready for the trickiest part of English phonics: vowel teams and phonograms. This Green Series nomenclature card set is a printable PDF featuring 50 three-part cards with realistic photography that makes learning AI, EE, OA, OU, and OI phonograms feel natural instead of frustrating. Perfect for first and second graders transitioning from phonetic to sight reading, these cards give children the visual support and control of error they need to tackle complex vowel patterns with confidence.

📦 What's Included

  • 50 three-part card sets featuring words with advanced phonograms and vowel teams
  • Picture and label card: Full image with word for introduction and three-period lessons
  • Picture card only: Image without text for matching practice
  • Label card only: Word without image for advanced reading practice
  • Real photographs: Authentic images that connect reading to the actual world, not cartoon illustrations
  • Phonogram coverage: AI (rain, train), EE (tree, bee), OA (boat, coat), OU (cloud, house), OI (coin, oil) and more

🎯 Why Green Series Cards Make Phonograms Click

This is where reading gets hard. Vowel teams don't follow the simple rules kids learned in Pink and Blue Series. "AI makes the long A sound" works until they see "said." That's why these cards use the Montessori three-part system with real photos as the bridge. Children can match pictures to labels, check their own work using the control card, and practice independently without constant adult correction. The realistic photography matters because when a child sees an actual photograph of rain, their brain connects the phonogram AI to a real experience, not a cartoon symbol.

💡 What Makes These Different from Generic Phonics Cards

  • Follows authentic Montessori Green Series phonogram sequence used in certified classrooms worldwide
  • Three-part card system provides built-in control of error so children self-correct without adult intervention
  • Real photographs instead of clipart because authentic images build stronger word-object connections
  • Covers the exact phonograms children need between Blue Series and independent chapter book reading
  • Designed by an NAMC-certified guide who understands the specific challenge points in phonogram instruction
  • Print unlimited copies for multiple children, classroom rotations, or home and grandparent's house sets

🍂 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide

Introduce these cards after your child has mastered consonant blends in the Blue Series but before you expect them to read chapter books independently. Use the three-period lesson format: first show the picture and label together while saying the word, then ask the child to point to specific pictures when you say the word, finally ask them to read the labels independently. The beauty of three-part cards is children can work with them alone once you've introduced the phonogram, matching picture cards to label cards and using the control cards to check themselves. This builds reading confidence without the shame of constant adult correction.
