Essential Tips for Enhancing Reading Retention in Kids Using Flashcards
Discover effective techniques for improving kids' reading retention with flashcards, active recall, and spaced repetition. Boost their learning experience!
How Flashrecall app helps you remember faster. It's free
Reading Eggs is great for teaching kids how to read—lots of games, songs, and colourful lessons. But there’s one big issue almost every parent notices: kids enjoy the activities, but they forget what they learned unless they revisit it later.
That’s normal. Kids’ brains need repetition, not just entertainment.
If a child learns a new letter sound today and doesn’t see it again for a week, they’ll likely forget it. So the goal isn’t more content—it’s consistent, tiny review sessions that reinforce what they already learned.
Here’s what actually helps young readers:
1. Review the same sounds and words often
Short, frequent practice beats long study sessions.
2. Turn reading concepts into tiny questions
“What sound does this letter make?”
“What word is this?”
These small recall moments build strong memory.
3. Make learning visual
Flashrecall automatically keeps track and reminds you of the cards you don't remember well so you remember faster. Like this :
Kids remember better when they see pictures, shapes, and colours.
4. Keep sessions short
A child’s attention span is limited—1–3 minutes is enough.
But doing this manually every day can be tough for parents.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the fastest way to create flashcards?
Manually typing cards works but takes time. Many students now use AI generators that turn notes into flashcards instantly. Flashrecall does this automatically from text, images, or PDFs.
Is there a free flashcard app?
Yes. Flashrecall is free and lets you create flashcards from images, text, prompts, audio, PDFs, and YouTube videos.
How do I start spaced repetition?
You can manually schedule your reviews, but most people use apps that automate this. Flashrecall uses built-in spaced repetition so you review cards at the perfect time.
What is active recall and how does it work?
Active recall is the process of actively retrieving information from memory rather than passively reviewing it. Flashrecall forces proper active recall by making you think before revealing answers, then uses spaced repetition to optimize your review schedule.
