Presentation
Characteristic and techniques the cards can be prepared by the teacher and or
students and may be handled and the stuck on different surfaces with adhesive plastic,
sticky tape, pins, etc.
Labelling classroom objects
A well-established way of using word cards is for the teacher to stick them on objects in
the classroom: the door, the cupboard, a window, a desk, etc. The intention is to
familiarize the student with the written form of the word.
At the reading practice stage, a game could be played based on true/false in which the
teacher moves the cards around before the students come into the classroom. The
students must spot which words are in the wrong place and move them lo the correct
place.
Characteristics and techniques: strips of card or paper are easy and cheap to obtain
and texts can readily be written on them with markers.
Dialogue sentence cards
Cards can be made of the sentences, which have become familiar to the students in a
short dialogue or in a story. These sentences can be shown as the dialogue is being
spoken and then stuck on the board or held by students. This stage of recognition
reading is modest to what it offers.
