Choose a grade level. There are flashcards for every grade, from preschool through pre-med. Your child can advance at his own pace using flashcards from different grade levels, depending upon his knowledge in each subject.
Choose a subject. There are several topics covered in depth: language arts, mathematics, social studies, science and even character development.
Begin your chosen flashcard set. Each flashcard is generously large and features a brightly colored illustration. As your child memorizes each piece of information, there are options to either keep the card in the rotation or remove it permanently once it has been mastered.
Play classical music while your child studies by clicking on the "Superlearning" link in the menu on the left of each flashcard. Research shows that listening to classical music may boost the brain’s ability to grasp and retain information, as well as improve test scores.
Track your child’s progress by clicking on the "Show Statistics" link on each flashcard. This allows you to view a page which shows how many flashcards have been attempted in each subject, as well as how many have been correct and incorrect.
