IPA Instructional Cards

The Lingo Lenses Instructional Cards give learners a structured way to uncover that pattern by focusing on the 44 phonemes of English and their many spelling representations (over 300 included in this deck).

Designed for upper primary, secondary, and specialist instruction, this deck helps students bridge the gap between spoken sounds (phonemes) and their written forms (graphemes), with the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) as a clear and consistent guide.
