Flashcards are still an excellent way to help students with memory issues and those with difficulty with focus. Students with memory deficits often have difficulty in school. Another large group of struggling students are those with attentional issues. Both groups benefit from the use of electronic flashcards and other innovative testing and drilling methods. If you have difficulty focusing or remember it translates to problematic executive function issues. Finding a way to focus on practice key information is an effective tool. Flashcards have slowly become better over the years. The competition in this area has improved. I still really like Quizlet. However, the competitors have evolved to the point of getting my attention. 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.
