This set of ‘quadr’ Reading and Spelling cards is designed to bring vocabulary learning to life through multi-sensory spelling and decoding practice.

Each card features a word with the Latin root ‘quadr’, helping learners make lasting connections between spelling, structure, and meaning.
At the back of the pack, you’ll find a simple progress tracker to help you monitor when a word is successfully blended and when it becomes automatic. It’s a gentle way to celebrate growth, especially helpful for dyslexic and neurodivergent learners.
Made by a dyslexia specialist, this resource fits beautifully into a home education routine or personalised learning plan. I highly recommend checking my social media for extra ideas on how to use the cards in creative, sensory-friendly ways.
