Katakana Theme Cards

The Katakana Theme Cards are a clear, structured visual resource designed to support students in learning and writing the Japanese Katakana script accurately.

Each card features one large, clear Katakana character, with the stroke direction and stroke sequence clearly shown, supporting correct character formation from the outset. The sound (Romaji) is displayed underneath each character to support pronunciation and decoding during instruction.

These cards are ideal for explicit teaching, guided practice, and revision in Japanese language classrooms.
