The PAF Card Packs are an integral part of the PAF Reading Program. The Alphabet and Key Word Picture Cards contain illustrations of a key word for each sound taught and the letter or letters that make the sound. These picture cards are displayed to help the children remember the sounds. The Review Packs contain letters, letter combinations, non-phonetic words, and homonyms.
