    • On Adobe Acrobat Reader, click on PRINT.
    • When the printing panel pops up, click on PROPERTIES.
    • At the PAGE SIZE panel, make sure that the highlighted paper size is A4.
    • Click OK.
    • After printing, fold the paper or board in half so that one side shows only the media while the other half shows the written word.
    • Apply glue - we recommend using dry glue - along the inside edges of the flash card to seal the empty side.
    • When not using the flash cards, store them in the folder sleeve.

How to use your flash cards

Using them as word flash cards

  • Arrange your flash cards into a pile, in the reverse order with which you want to show the cards to your child.

  • Place your child a few feet away, facing you - get someone to help you by sitting with your child.

  • Show the words to your baby by moving the flash cards from behind to front.

  • Read out the word when the card reaches the front, when it has fully covered the previous flashcard.

  • Go as fast as you can, but make sure that you pronounce each word clearly, with only a very brief pause between words.

Using them as media and word flash cards:

  • Show the words to your baby by moving the flash cards from behind to front.

  • Show your child the word first while pronouncing the word

  • Flip the card to show the image and pronounce the word again (or you can choose to vocalize some sound effects for your baby)

  • Flip the card again to show the word and pronounce the word for the third time
