Memorizing with Flashcards

Some information can be learned only through memorization. Information such as letters, numbers, colors, animals, etc. cannot simply be understood. They must be committed to memory.

Memorization is very difficult for young developing brains, but children do begin learning to memorize in the earliest stages of development. Flashcards are an excellent tool helping your child with the process of memorization.

Flashcards can be made at home or purchased. Regardless of where you get your flashcards, make certain that they are simple. Ideally, a flashcard will include only a single object and its name. Flashcards with multiple objects or busy backgrounds can be confusing.

When presenting flashcards to your child, keep the cards in the same order. Following a consistent order will speed the process of memorization.
