Double Sounds Snap is an interactive phonics card game designed to help learners recognise and reinforce common double and long vowel sound patterns. Focusing on 20 sound families, the game gives learners repeated opportunities to identify vowel patterns, read words aloud and connect letter combinations with their sounds. Two sets of 80 laminated cards can be played separately or combined to create a larger, more challenging game.
