It's the classic face-down memory game, with every deck built around one speech sound. Pick a sound, pick a word position — initial, medial, final or mixed — and flip cards to find the pairs. Each card shows a picture with its word underneath, target letters lit up in orange so students see exactly where their sound lives.

There's a deck for 20 sounds plus S, L and R blends, and every deck fills a full 16-card board. Every flip is another chance to say the word, so the reps add up fast without feeling like drill work.
