Flashcards are Fun cards

Utilizing Flashcards for Orals
I love flashcards and better yet, I love making flashcards. Flashcards are an important part of learning because:

1. Flashcards engage active learning
2. Flashcards help with self-reflection
3. Flashcards help us summarise and remember the important facts

Flashcards can be used for a number of different things. From learning times tables, Spelling words and Sight words. Today's post is all about how effectively use flashcards for Orals. Some of my Do's and Don'ts:

DO'S:
1. Do make the flashcards the right size
2.Do only use 8 words for sentences for only 5 cards
3. Do use colour
4. Do write neatly
5. Do keep it simple, relevant and easy to read

DON'TS:
1. Don't put too much information on each card
2. Don't make the cards, guide your child and work together
3. Don't use too many colours for keywords
4.  Don't practice too much
5. Don't use irrelevant words

When making flashcards for orals, remember to use two different colours. Perhaps one for subheadings and one for the short information. Make use of a 3 main and interesting pictures.
