FLASHCARDS

Why do we use  Flashcards in class?

Flash cards are a really handy resource to have and can be useful at every stage of the class. They are a great way to:
-present, 
-practise and 
-recycle vocabulary

They can be given out to early-finishers to use in small groups. Sttudents can make their own sets of mini flash cards that can be taken home for them to play with, with parents and siblings.
