Flash cards teach automaticity: knowing an answer automatically, without having to think about it. Students need to be able to recognize certain words (such as "the" or "are"), number sentences (such as that 5 x 5 is 25) and other facts automatically. Flash cards provide students with the opportunity to practice recording and quizzing the facts on a regular basis. They can be used in whole class, small group and individual instruction.
Example 1 . Activity with flashcards.
1. Pretest students. If you want students to work on multiplication facts or sight words, for example, you need to pretest them, so they only practice facts or words that they don't already know. If a student can recognize the word "is" in 3 seconds or less when you hold it up on a flashcard, he doesn't need to continue practicing that word. If a student can't come up with the answer to "6 x 9" in 3 seconds or less, then he needs to practice that fact some more.
2. Share the pretests. Make copies of each student's pretest and share it with her. You might circle the words she needs to practice or draw a box around the math facts she needs to practice.
3. Make the flashcards. Allow students to make their own flashcards; it will give them extra practice with the facts and words. Have students write the facts or words in pencil and then allow you or an aide to check them.
4. Trace the cards. After the cards have been checked, allow students to trace over the words and/or numbers with a marker.
Example 2. Activity with Flashcard
1. Make an introduction. If you are teaching a whole group science or social studies lesson, you can use vocabulary flashcards with the class as part of your introduction to each day's lesson. If you are working with a small group or an individual, a quick review of flashcards can also be a good introduction to the day's lesson.
2. Create a center. You can have students use their flashcards as a center. They can partner up to quiz each other, write each flashcard word or fact five times and/or illustrate each word or fact (draw a picture that shows 4 rows of 2 dogs to show 4 x 2, for example).
3. Send them home. Use flashcards as part of your homework packet. Have a sheet that parents or older siblings can sign when the student has practiced the flashcards at home.
4. Post-test the students. After students have been working with the flashcards for one to three weeks (depending on the students' levels and the difficulty of the cards), use the cards to test each student's knowledge. Anything that they still don't know can be moved on to the next set of flashcards; cards they've learned can be saved for major review sessions.
Working in pairs stimulates team work, which increases social skills, a lot of emphasis should be placed on social skills in the preschool classes. The children must learn to develop an understanding of what it means to have feelings. Cooperative play, sharing and taking turns must be encouraged. Learning new words and vocabulary activities helps to complement the children's cognitive development.
