Section 2 Flashcards


Flashcards are still an excellent way to help students with memory issues and those with difficulty with focusing. Both groups benefit from the use of electronic flashcards and other innovative testing and drilling methods. If you have difficulty focusing or remembering it translates to problematic executive function issues. Flashcards have slowly become better over the years. The competition in this area has improved. I still really like Quizlet. However, competitors have evolved to the point of being viable options. I have listed the best flashcard websites/apps in this section. 

 

Quizlet Best of Class Author’s Pick

This app has tons of pre-made flashcards. The app claims to have a database of 15 million flashcards. This is the best flashcard website that I have found.
