Hey Mom and Dad!
Is your little one mumbling, or saying their first words? If so it's flashcard time. Our strategies below have helped many growing minds expand their vocabulary.
How to Study With Flashcards
The first step in using flashcards effectively is to use them the right way and in the right environment:
Sit comfortably facing your child.
Arrange the flash cards in the order you would like to present them (if you wish, you can also choose cards randomly depending on what seems to work best for you.)
Hold up the first card so your child can clearly see the front. Keep the back of the flash card toward you so your child cannot see it.
If necessary, read the front of the flash card to your child. For example, you may read a math problem or a question from the flash card front. Wait three full seconds. There's no need to use a timer. Count to three in your head. This will allow your child about three seconds to consider the question on the flash card and think about his answers. Remember, the key is keeping things fun. The best kind of learning occurs when your child is having too much fun to realize how much she is learning.
If your child gives a correct answer, place the correctly answered flash card in a pile on your left.
If your child gives an incorrect response or no response, tell them the correct answer and place these flash cards in a pile on your right side.
Repeat the same set of 10 cards until your child knows all of the flashcards. Once accomplished move on to the next set of 10.
