Grammar Flashcards (Make your own)

These flashcards can be cut out and laminated, or copied onto cardstock (double-sided).
I like to color-code flashcards for my children: Each child has a set of flashcards for grammar and a set for spelling (we use Spell to Read and Write). I punch a hole in the top right corner and use O-rings to keep the cards that my student has already learned together. It’s easy to sort the cards into the ones that need more work, the ones we are currently learning, and the ones that are mastered and only need occasional review.
Flashcards are an excellent way to promote mastery learning of grammar terms. We find them to be a very convenient and expedient way to complete our memory work for grammar.
