Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm using these cards with my 3 1/2 year old who is starting to learn to read. There are 54 cards, with the letter(s) on the front and a picture that goes along with how to pronounce them and on the back are additional example words that use the same phonic rule. The blends are very helpful when learning to piece together words in order to read them more quickly, but some of these cards included in this deck are single letter phonics that would do better as part of an alphabet deck, like pronunciation of consonants "D" and "S." There's also only one pronunciation of "Y" (which actually has four pronunciations). I was hoping for more consonant and vowel blends, endings, or prefixes to help with more complex pronunciation (oa, wh, ew, ay, un, ed, ing, tion, eigh) than what is included in this set. The single letter cards seem redundant if your child already knows the alphabet sounds. Still there are a number of cards that are helpful while trying learn some phonics that we will end up pulling out to use as our main deck. It would have been helpful to know which cards were in this deck before purchasing it, so I've included them here. Here are the letters included in this set: A (short), A (long), B, bl, br, C (hard), C (soft), ch, cl, cr, D, dr, E (short), E (long), F, fl, fr, G (hard), G (soft), gl, gr, H, I (short), I (long), J, K, L, M, N, O (short), O (long), oo, P, qu, R, S, sh, sl, sn, sp, st, sw, T, th, tr, U (short), U (long), V, W, X, Y, Z
