Flip Over Some Flash Cards During Study Time

Flash cards are a great tool for memorizing a large number of facts. Whether your child is learning definitions, dates, names, vocabulary words or math facts, flash cards can help. You can buy flash cards, or make your own from index cards.

To help your child memorize with flash cards:

• Start by dividing the cards into small groups. Have your child work through one group of cards at a time and master those facts before going on to another group.
• Shuffle the cards each time they’re used. You want your child to learn the facts in any order.
• Practice often—but for short periods of time. Six ten-minute sessions are better than one hour-long session.
• Spend more time on cards that your child has yet to master.
