Flashcards are quite effective for children. As for Ezanne, we did not flash the cards to her cos she will always end up snatching the cards away from us. Therefore, I bought another set of fruits and vegetable cards which is thicker so that she could play, bend or do whatever she likes with the cards. I guess she likes to hold or be in control of the cards rather than being flashed.
What we did is to lay some cards in front of her before bedtime. We will then request for a certain kind of fruits and she has to find the right one for us. When she found the correct one, she will feel proud and expect us to applause for her. If it is wrong, she will try her luck and anyhow choose another card.. haha..
Our method somehow works for Zanne. She could recognize quite a number of fruits, eg. papaya, banana, coconut, apple, pear, pineapple and now strawberry! I let her tried some strawberry the other day and next day she picked the right card.. However, sometimes she will still forget if she skip her practice for some consecutive days.
