There is no doubt that flashcards are effective study guides. Most teachers will recommend the use of flashcards during parent meetings to gain an edge on test taking. If your child has test taking difficulties, I'm certain you've already heard about the glorious benefits of flashcards.
But, in order for flashcards to work, it is helpful that your child hand print them out. By working through the mechanics of hand printing, your child is enabling his short-term memory to kick in every time he prints a word. Hence, once he starts memorizing the flashcards, his job already has a competitive edge.
The downside is, with all the homework responsibilities, it is often difficult to make it through this first step. Children balk at the idea of the time-consuming, hand written flash card method. There is help! Go to the Printable Flash Card Maker and make your own flashcards by copying/pasting flashcard information onto this quick, easy-to-do flash card generator. Most student textbooks have study guides online, so you can copy/paste from site to site. I've found, with my students, this to be one of the easiest tools on the web.
While your child is copying/pasting, have him read the content OUT LOUD. This will ensure that first step of handwriting is met. Once you're done, print them out, fold, and study! You'll love these!
