As a former teacher I know that each child has a different learning style.  Some students can look at a word and memorize it, others need to hear and see the word and while others need to look, hear and write the word a few times and maybe even draw a picture before a word is learned. 

I was excited to see the eco-friendly product, Write Way To Learn Learning Cards, which are basically “flash cards.”   This product was created by mother after her four-year old son began learning the sounds of the alphabet.  He eagerly wanted to read bedtime stories to his little sister. To encourage her son’s enthusiasm, his mother began searching for a teaching product that was interactive, fun, and creative. There was no individual product available that provided the comprehensive and exciting learning experience she wanted for her son, so she began creating learning cards using family photos and recycled paper.

Modeling social responsibility for the next generation, the company’s learning card sets are eco-friendly.  All the card sets and supporting materials are printed on recycled paper. The learning cards are then heavily laminated to create a  reusable product. Also, to reduce the environmental impact of product shipping, all of the card sets are available in an optional web-download format.

While the company’s innovative learning tools are primarily developed for children ages 3-8, older children can also benefit from advanced sets, and sets that teach American Sign Language. Foreign language learning cards are currently under development. 

Write Way to Learn also offers an online tool called “Design Your Own” that will allow customers to easily create customized learning cards featuring their own pictures and text.  These custom cards teach family names or just make your child feel special! The “My Family” and “My World” learning card sets are completely customizable and created for you using your pictures and text. It is so simple and fun!
