Common Exception Words Flash Cards – Year 3 & Year 4 Words

These full-colour cards cover the 106 statutory common exception words that children need to learn in Year 3 and Year 4.

Each card features a meaningful sentence clearly printed in a font with a cursive script style, as used in the National Literacy Strategy.

They also have an engaging picture explanation to build familiarity and aid memory retention. Many of the pictures also connect with others to build narratives that children can explore and play around with. The combination of visual and story-telling memory aids, using our lovable character, Foxton, and his friends, will help children develop a unique and successful bond with these cards that doesn’t come from looking at the words alone.

The cards are most effective when used little and often. Choose a time when children feel happy and alert. A few cards on the fridge to go over during breakfast, maybe, or while travelling, or waiting for an after-school class. In the classroom, distributing a few cards before break and then again immediately after break can be highly beneficial.
