The 48-spellings pack is begun when students are able to complete the 18-spelling pack easily. As with the 18-card pack, students should only drill on correspondences of which they are sure, building up to 48 cards. The cards in the deck (duplicates indicated by “-2”) are:

ee   ea-2   i-2  e-2 ae   ai-2 ay-2   a-2 u-2 o-2      au-2   aw-2

oe   oa-2   o͝o (short) o͞o (long) ew-2 

er   ir   ur  or   ar ie igh-2 ue  oi-2 oy-2   ou-2   ow-2
