The Alphabet Sound Squad Cards (Style 2) are part of the Feelings-Based Phonics™ approach, a method that blends foundational phonics skills with social-emotional learning.
Each card introduces a letter sound using a character that represents both:
• the phoneme (letter sound), and
• a relatable emotional trait that helps students connect, remember, and engage.
This makes phonics practice more meaningful while still supporting strong early literacy foundations.

Each phonogram is paired with a character that represents both:
the spelling pattern being taught, and
a relatable emotional trait that supports memory, connection, and engagement.
Including both Style 1 and Style 2 gives educators flexibility to choose the visual format that best fits their students and teaching style.
