Advanced Hiragana Theme Cards

The Advanced Hiragana Theme Cards support students in learning and using the full range of Hiragana characters, including both the standard Hiragana alphabet and extended sound combinations.

This advanced set includes:

• the 46 core Hiragana characters

• an additional 50 extended Hiragana sounds (such as combined and modified sounds)

Designed for classroom teachers, specialist language teachers and homeschoolers, these cards help students move beyond basic Hiragana recognition to develop greater accuracy and fluency in reading and using Japanese sounds. The structured, theme-based presentation supports recognition, recall, and confident use during whole-class instruction and guided practice.

How these cards are used

• Revising and consolidating the full Hiragana alphabet
• Introducing and practising extended Hiragana sounds
• Supporting reading accuracy and sound recognition
• Strengthening recall through structured, repeated exposure

The clear visual organisation helps students understand relationships between base characters and extended sounds, supporting progression in Japanese language learning.

These cards pair with Hiragana Charts, Hiragana Word Cards, and other Japanese language resources, allowing students to move from visual reference to structured practice and confident language use.
