Quite a lot of students find it very difficult to learn how to read with conventional teaching methods. However, flashcards can provide students a fun and effective way to learn this skill. For younger students teachers can use a flashcard sets with pictures. The flashcards can be stuck on the board to create a sentence and students can be asked to write the corresponding word below the card. Once all the words have been written, the cards can be taken off and students can be asked to read the sentence. Blank cards can also be used for the same purpose.
