Flashcards have been used since at least the 19th century, with Reading Disentangled (1834), by English educator Favell Lee Mortimer being credited by some as the first flashcards. Flashcards engage “active recall” meaning you are attempting to remember the concept from scratch rather than simply staring at the passage in your textbook or recognizing it on a multiple-choice quiz. Active recall has proven to create stronger neuron connections for a memory trace.
Storytelling makes learning effective because it works for all types of learners. Storytelling works on all types of learners- Visual Learners, Auditory Learners, and Kinesthetic Learners. Visual learners appreciate the mental picture storytelling evokes. Auditory learners focus on the words and the storyteller’s voice. Kinesthetic learners remember the emotional connections and the feelings of the story.
We focus on developing the ability to read fluently and to write in all 3 languages (Bahasa Malaysia, English and Chinese)
