Printable Flashcards / Word Cards

Printable Flashcards / Word Cards Language is fun - it has great patterns, it flows, it can be sharp and jump around, it has rules but also allows you to break those rules. Let's try not to make language a chore for our children. LET'S HAVE SOME FUN....   Sample of Printable Flashcards available with Membership Australian Animals Words Sports Words Dolch Sight Words Adjectives, Nouns, Verbs, Adverbs Dolch Nouns Dolch Sight Words        HOW TO MAKE FLASHCARDS / WORD CARDS FUN, FUN, FUN...   Never put away your flashcards....there are just SO many ways they can be utilized. They do not have to be just sight word cards flashed up, parroted off, then put away.   I would have piles of them in the classroom all sorted into themed containers or pockets, on word walls, in word groups etc. They definitely do not have to sit in the corner.   Your word cards should all be easily accessible to the children. I have stored them in labelled buckets, or hanging pockets very successfully. They would come out onto display walls at different times, eg when building word walls, focus theme for that week, when we a doing a concept book and need to see certain words, writing with a certain theme, etc.     We would refer to them continually throughout our day. If children needed to know a word I would send them to find it in the appropriate bucket or pocket. Eventually, they know that if they need the word 'cricket' it will probably be in the 'Sports' theme bucket.     Each and every literacy session would involve some sort of printable flashcards  /  word cards activity  - this might be an activity such as choosing 3 words each from the dolch nouns bucket and making those words up from cut out magazine letters, using whiteboard markers to trace over laminated word cards, putting the word groups into alphabetical order etc etc....    There are plenty more ideas for using flashcards in our resource -    "101 Ways to Use Word Cards"    included in our Membership.  I have made the first 30 available to you for free. Try out these activities and see if you get as excited about using flashcards as I am ( I think I need a life!!!)               Teacher Resources Search   /   Site Index  /   Printable Dolch Sight Words Printable Theme Words  /  Printable Adjectives, Nouns, Verbs, Adverbs   /             Online Education Program Directory
