Creative Learning Ideas for Pre-Readers

Boy sat at table holding up his rainbow phonics card.

Enjoy some of our suggestions for creative activities to boost enthusiasm for learning.

Finding creative and playful ways to support learning is the very best way to engage and inspire. If children are interested in what they are doing they are more likely to feel motivated to continue. 

Our products have been designed to give families and schools multiple opportunities for creative learning. We love to see our customers' creative ways to use our products and we have popped a few of our own suggested uses here. You can find lots more on our Instagram page and remember there are lots of ways to support the development of reading and writing that do not always look like reading and writing!



Enjoy some suggestions and ideas for pre-readers using your Enchanting Learning Phonics and Storytelling Cards.

Colour Hunt: Lay out some cards and play Colour Eye Spy asking your child to find certain colours within the illustrations. You can make this into a game by rolling a dice to choose a colour ( 6=yellow) and they keep all the cards that contain that colour. - Brilliant for colour recognition!

Pick a Card: Have a selection of cards hidden in a bag and ask your child to pick one at random without you seeing.  Ask them questions about their card illustration with them answering yes or no until you guess the card. When they have heard you ask lots of questions, switch roles!- Great for developing verbal skills!

Same and different: Split the card into two stacks and take it in turns to picks a card. You then have to say 1 thing that is same on the card and one thing that is different. - Awesome for observational skills and speech development.

Texture letter formation: Choose a texture tray such as sand, paint, shaving foam or gloop and explore the shape of central sound on the back of the card and making the shape in the variouse textures while saying the sound. - This is kind of hands on experience will help your child to make links from letters to sounds.
