Pets Word Cards

The Pets Word Cards are a focused language resource designed to support students in learning, recognising and confidently using pet-related vocabulary in the target language.

Each card presents a single pet word clearly in the target language, supporting accurate recognition, reading, and recall. These cards help students move from recognising familiar pet vocabulary to actively using it in speaking, listening, and simple sentence construction.

Designed for classroom teachers, specialist language teachers and homeschoolers, these Word Cards function as an instructional tool that supports explicit teaching, revision, and retrieval practice.
