Key Concepts & Terms in Better Letters®
The Better Letters® system introduces essential literacy concepts, including sound-to-letter correspondence, coarticulation, place, manner, and voicing. Each card provides children with meaningful anchors that strengthen decoding and spelling skills.
Letter Order & Case in Better Letters®
Letters are introduced developmentally and intentionally, ensuring children master lowercase and uppercase forms with clarity. This reduces confusion and builds a strong foundation for lifelong literacy success.
Place, Manner, Voicing & Coarticulation in Better Letters®
Better Letters® emphasizes how speech production supports literacy. Teaching children how sounds are formed and how coarticulation affects words strengthens decoding, spelling, and fluency.
Designed for Educators
Every Better Letters® card includes quick-reference teaching points on the back, giving educators explicit guidance, spelling rules, and phonics support right at their fingertips. This makes instruction efficient, consistent, and engaging.
