Word Cards

Making Word Cards Work

A lot of classrooms are decorated with colourful word cards. They are often pasted on walls or hung from mobiles, and they often look very nice.

But how often do the children really look at them?

At SK Kuala Tembeling, teacher Khairizani Bt Jantan has asked her Y3 English class to make their own word cards. The children's efforts aren't as nice as commercial cards, or cards that the teachers make, but I think the children will learn more vocabulary from cards they make themselves, than from lovely cards that decorate the room, but don't get looked at.

How do you use vocabulary cards in your classes?

Work in progress, the children will make and add more cards every week
