Flashcards - so much fun!

Hello everyone!
I would like to talk about the flashcards today! Please join me!
Since I am studying Master course in the University of Latvia, I am learning different new things constantly. Some time ago, I came across Howard Gardner's multiple intelligence theory that indicates that teachers should aim to appeal to all the different learner types at some point during the course. This is the reason I started to use flashcards.

Picture books for Kids


     Reading a book is a true pleasure. Books are the best friends of all. I think that reading is a good hobby. Books give a lot of new information and knowledge. They also give us a message.
I love children picture books. They are large, colorful, easy to read and very simple in their structure, not very long and produced exclusively for a certain audience, namely children, especially of the younger ones. It is all about showing and telling, a window for learning to “read” in a broad sense, exploring relationships between words, pictures and the life we experience every day.
I enjoy reading books with children because they are always involved into the process, they share their opinions, discuss storylines, complete different tasks based on the content of a certain book.
