GROW WORD POWER WHEREVER YOU GO – Teacher-created, child-tested cards present 324 commonly-used words which do not follow the usual phonics rules – repeated exposure is necessary to build reading ability and speaking fluency.These three card decks are easy to toss in a backpack or cargo pocket to use at home, afterschool, in the car, or waiting rooms. Educators use these with small groups or individual instruction, too!
RESEARCH BASED, CLASSROOM PROVEN – Words are drawn from the “Dolch” and “Fry” most-frequently-used vocabulary lists and are shown in clear, easy-to-read type. Many of these words represent concepts or verb tenses which aren’t possible to easily represent with pictures but are essential to understanding the English language. These cards support common student learning standards. TREND’s flash cards have been a staple in classrooms for three generations!
BUILD CONFIDENCE AND SKILL – Beyond see-and-say practice with another person or individually, these cards can also be used in games and creative activities to reinforce language learning. For instance, challenge learners to find words from the cards in books or other materials nearby. Pick from several cards to complete a sentence. Or use several words in a made-up story. Activity suggestions are included in the set. Designed for ages 6 and up.
VALUE, QUALITY, AND SAFETY – 56 durable tagboard cards (3-1/8″ x 5-1/4″) are packed per convenient carton for handy storage and transport. Thick card stock prevents seeing the other side during quizzes! Corners are rounded on one point to show which sides face forward when sorting. These cards exceed all children’s product safety standards and are tested routinely. Plus, they’re designed and manufactured in the USA for reliability and quality.
USES BEYOND EARLY CHILDHOOD – These cards are also useful for introducing and reinforcing basic words and spellings to new English-language learners in both structured and informal activities. Likewise, they are popular tools in speech therapy and memory care settings. The simple, uncluttered design helps reduce distraction and is not ‘juvenile’ toward adult users.
