Abstract:
A educational card game for teaching phonetic pronunciation of words and letters. The educational card game includes a plurality of cards, each of the plurality of cards includes a face side and represents a different letter of the alphabet. The letter of the alphabet represented by each card is printed in a central portion of the face side and a point value assigned to each card is printed in a corner of the face side. A device for storing data representing an oral pronunciation of each letter printed on each of the plurality of cards is included to provide a correct oral pronunciation of each letter on each card. The data representing the phonetic pronunciation of each letter is assigned a respective location within the data storage device. A key is also included to match each of the plurality of cards with the location at which its respective data is stored whereby each of the plurality of cards represents a phonetic pronunciation of its respective letter, the point value assigned to each card is representative of a difficulty level of the phonetic pronunciation and a user may readily hear an oral pronunciation of the letter printed on each card by determining the position at which the appropriate data is stored on the data storage device using the key and retrieving the appropriate data from the data storage device.
