Word Cards
Using word cards to introduce every subject helps children know where the lesson is headed. It helps them stay with you. Even if the children you are teaching don’t read yet, a word card helps them learn to read plus it gets and keeps their attention.
It is often said that when teaching or giving a speech, tell them what you’re going to tell them, then tell them, then tell them what you have told them. This is especially true of young children. Here are some tips for using word cards:
- Use a word card to bring them back to the subject.
- A word card can be used in fun, possibly silly, ways.
- Keeping the word cards down to 1 or 2 per lesson will help children stay focused.
- Vary how the word cards is used.
- Word cards can also help at home to keep children on task and focused.
Have fun using word cards to increase learning for the children in your life. We would love feedback on how you have successfully used Word Cards.
