Are you used to making flashcards to learn vocab and other key terms? Do you love it or hate it?
I find that most of the students I work with think flashcards are the best method to prep for tests. Although they’re kinda bored with testing themselves using flashcards, what they LOVE is that making the flashcards makes them FEEL AS IF they’re studying.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the way you make your flashcards can be a waste of time. Not if you make this one tweak, though.
I’ll explain it more in the video. Or if you’re short on time (the video is only 6 minutes though!) feel free to scroll down and check out the tip on the whiteboard.
Here’s the whiteboard:
Thanks for this great explanation. I’m excited about sharing this with my children and the children I work with.
So helpful! Just in time for my son’s first French test. Going to check out the study cycle now. Thank you!
So good, Gretchen! Wish I had your wisdom in high school, so many years ago! Still, I’m passing it on to my young adults taking online college classes and creating lessons to teach my clients and their autistic young adults.
