What the alphabet deck holds
The deck is the 26 letters in order, one letter to a card. Capitals puts A on the first card, Lowercase puts a, and Both puts A and a side by side. With Two sides, a capital card has its lowercase letter on the back and a lowercase card its capital, so the two sides make a matching pair; on a Both card the back shows the same pair in the other letter style, cursive behind print or print behind cursive. At 8 cards a page the deck fills four sheets, at 12 it fills three, and at 4 it fills seven. The cards are cut on the dashed lines.

Questions and answers
Do the cards go in A to Z order?
Yes. The first card is A and the last is Z, filling each page in rows from left to right. The last page has empty spaces when 26 does not divide evenly by the number of cards on a page.
Can the capital be on the front and the lowercase letter on the back?
Yes. Choose Capitals and Two sides. Each front page is followed by a page of lowercase letters laid out mirror-wise, so after printing on both sides with a flip on the long edge, b is behind B. Choose Lowercase for the other way round.
Are there cursive alphabet flash cards?
Yes. Under Letter style, choose Cursive. The letters are the same cursive letters as the cursive alphabet chart and the cursive worksheets on this site.
How big are the cards?
On US Letter at 8 to a page, each card is about 3.7 by 2.3 inches; at 4 to a page about 3.7 by 4.7 inches; at 6 about 3.7 by 3.1 inches; at 12 about 2.5 by 2.3 inches. A4 cards are a little narrower and taller.
Can I make cards with words instead of letters?
Yes. Under Cards, choose My own words and type them, each on its own line, or use the flash card maker page, which starts with a word list.
