Why we use flashcards (and how to make good ones)

One fact per card, a question on the front, and three piles. That’s most of it.

Hands sorting revision flashcards into piles

Retrieval practice is the most reliable revision method we know. A flashcard is just a tidy way to do it.

Write a question on the front, one answer on the back. Sort into know / nearly / no idea.

Questions about your child? Book a free lesson and ask us in person.

Still deciding?

Sit in on a lesson before you decide.
