How To Make Flash Cards to Print Out

Flash cards can be useful for preschoolers, schoolchildren or for college students. They allow you to quiz yourself or have someone else test you on several subjects. Reading, math and foreign languages are only a few of the subjects that can be improved with the use of flash cards. CueCard (free) and FlashCards 2003 ($29.95 as of July 2009) (see Resources) allow you to create flash cards on any subject and print out right away.
