🌟 The Montessori Perspective on Flash Cards

In Montessori environments, flash cards work best as reference materials and visual supports rather than drilling tools. These cards shine when displayed as environmental labels, used for self-directed sequencing work, or consulted during writing activities. The space theme adds engagement without overwhelming the learning goal of letter recognition.
