Flashcards for Kids

Shichida is renowned for its dynamic and engaging approach to learning, incorporating high-speed flashcards into every class. This method transforms learning into an exciting experience, helping children develop essential cognitive skills.

Flashcards for toddlers are a great starting point for any young learner – from curious babies to confident preschoolers – helping them build essential skills step by step.

What is a Flash Card?

A flashcard is a versatile learning tool that typically features a word, image, or question on one side, and the corresponding answer or explanation on the reverse. This allows for quick, effective learning through repetitive review, enhancing memory and reinforcing new knowledge. Flashcards are used to reinforce memory, learn new vocabulary, or practice skills through quick, repetitive review. They’re effective for learners of all ages, especially children, making learning fun and engaging.

Shichida Flashcards

High-Speed Flash Cards

Why do Shichida flashcards go so fast?

Flashing the cards quickly helps activate your child’s photographic memory, improving both recall speed and the ability to process information at a faster rate. In the right brain education method, flashcards are presented at a rapid pace – typically between 1 and 0.5 seconds per card – to stimulate the brain’s natural ability to absorb and retain information effortlessly.

There are four main reasons why we use high-speed flashcards:

  • Activates the Right Brain: The right brain processes information rapidly and subconsciously. High-speed flashcards engage this ability, enhancing learning efficiency.
  • Enhances Image-Based Processing: Flashing cards quickly trains the brain to process information as images, strengthening visual memory and comprehension.
  • Strengthens Left-Right Brain Connection: Pairing images with spoken words bridges the right brain’s visual processing with the left brain’s language skills, improving overall cognition.
  • Expands Vocabulary: Fast-paced flashcards introduce new words and concepts, reinforcing memory through multisensory learning and encouraging early reading skills.

What Age Can You Start Flashcards?

Flashcards can be introduced as early as six months, a time when babies are at their most receptive to visual stimuli. Exposure to flashcards during this period can accelerate memory and cognitive development. At this stage, babies absorb information rapidly, and visual stimulation helps develop memory, recognition skills, and a strong foundation for learning.

Baby Flash Cards

At Shichida, we understand that although babies may not yet be speaking, they are capable of comprehending language. By using flashcards designed specifically for this stage, we stimulate their cognitive growth and lay the groundwork for verbal skills. When they become verbal, they will have a much larger vocabulary due to the number of flashcards they have been exposed to. To ensure the babies can see the cards, we show the flash cards for babies slower than toddler and kinder classes. Baby flash cards are also larger than the ones used for toddler and kinder age groups.

Shichida Australia offers engaging baby sensory classes, where little ones explore and learn through structured sensory play, stimulating their growing minds in a fun environment.
