Reading Flashcards for Adults

Here you will find custom reading flashcards for adults. They are custom because you can actually customize the text that is printed on the back of the cards to make them more specific to your student or students. They are for adults because the images don't have the cutesy child look; they have a more mature look.

Some cards have more sentences than others, others are more basic.

Not all students are on the same level, and you can change the words to fit your needs. When I taught reading to adults, some were very beginners, and some of my students already knew quite a lot of sight words.

I am in the process of creating more categories, so if you have a request for a category that I haven't covered yet, or want additional items in the categories that I've already done, just let me know.

This first category is Transportation.

Another common category that is helpful to adults is Food. This would be really helpful should your student shop in stores that don't show pictures on the can goods.

Another set of words that could be helpful to your students, is to draw the various images and words that are posted on restrooms in your area. In my area, there are not just Men and Women, but gals and guys, mexican words, and more. This can be a very helpful lesson plan to persue to make life easier for your student.

All the best.

Creative Writing for Kids

Check out these fun fairy themed books to encourage creative writing for kids.

These books feature a fun painting of a fairy in a woodsy area with flowers.

The fairy is holding something. Is it a magic wand, a branch, perhaps a gift?

Why is the fairy in the forest? Does the fairy live there, or just visiting?

Why is the mushroom so large? What is it used for?

Who lives behind that little door at the bottom of the tree? Wait, there are stairs that lead up to another door. Is that a second story to the house, or perhaps an apartment since it has it own outside set of stairs?

These questions can be used to help spark your child's creativity. Are there other questions that you can think of?

Young children may write or dictate simple sentences. Each statement can be written on a new page. The picture is there for added inspiration on each page.

An older child can write chapters for a longer story. Multiple sentences can be written on a page and continued on to make a chapter, and even multiple chapters for a longer story.

As you can see, this fun book can provide great opportunities for a variety of creative writing and reading opportunities for a variety of ages. It would make a fun gift for any child.

Fairy Stories: A Creative Story Writing Journal for Kids shows the fairy picture on every page and is purchased on Amazon:

This version, My Imagination Story Book, is spiral bound; the book can lay flat when open. It has more lines for writing on but does not have the fairy picture on each page.
