Flashcards are a helpful tool for teaching children to read. I use them to practice word decoding, the ability to recognize and sound out words, with my son.
Word decoding involves breaking down words into their individual sounds, or phonemes, and then blending those sounds together to form a recognizable word. Some of the words included in the lists are difficult to decode phonetically because they do not follow regular phonetics rules. These words are often referred to as "irregular" or "sight" words.
