And/or are you looking for a tool to unlock your child’s full potential over and above what they’re learning in school?

Brainscape’s complete collection of Early Childhood Education flashcards is key to speeding up your kid’s learning journey by leveraging how their developing brains are hardwired to become motivated and learn. With just a few minutes of practice daily, you can help them overcome any learning challenge and vastly improve their understanding inside the classroom and out.

Unlocking life’s essential skills with Brainscape
Brainscape’s flashcards for kids harness the most powerful learning principles in cognitive science to accelerate your kids’ journey to literacy and numeracy TWICE as fast as any other instruction technique, instilling these fundamental skills much EARLIER. And the earlier your kids learn to read, the earlier they can read to learn!

This collection of digital flashcards provides parents of young kids with a seamless and systematic way to unlock fundamental learning challenges—like reading, counting, basic mathematics, understanding nature, social interaction, and self-expression—to give young kids a rock-solid foundation in the key skills they need to learn, whether they’re already in school or are yet to embark upon their formal schooling.

These flashcards follow a syllabus curated by our panel of experts in early childhood education, who have raised and schooled several children themselves! Armed with these flashcards, you’ll have a powerful, efficient, and engaging tool to accelerate your young kids’ education.

The best flashcards for kids aged 3-9
Brainscape helps serious learners of all ages to learn faster and remember for longer, but our collection of Early Childhood Education flashcards is specially designed for young kids aged 3-9. We have broken down the complete recommended curriculum for preschoolers into their most fundamental building blocks, which you can easily review with your child at their precise pace of learning, covering:

-Reading skills (ages 3 to 6 and 6 to 9): Letter names and sounds (ABCs), sounding out words, alliteration, rhyming & spelling.
-Math skills (ages 3 to 6 and 6 to 9): Numbers, counting, concepts like quantity, basic math, and colors
-Everything around me: common objects, animals, people, places, weather, anatomy, emotions, and so much more.
-Sight words: words that are hard to define but commonly used in language, like “be”, “but”, “do”, “have”, “he”, “she”, “they”, “was”, “what”, and “with”, etc.

Importantly, your kids will LOVE playing with these engaging and colorful flashcards, even more so because it means spending quality time learning with you.

Ratings and reviews

Was perfect fo about half a semester, I even paid for the premium plan, but with this new update it is no longer possible to scroll down for the longer cards, which makes studying impossible. EDIT: I'm about sick and tired of your passive aggressive bull. I gave you almost $100, no small amount for a student, for an app that functions. You deliver promises of an app that may work soon ("the development team is working on it"). Would give 0 stars if I could. Like I said before, just get Quizlet!!

I really like the app, it does its job and has a sleek design. There's only a minor inconvenience throwing me off. I'm not sure if it's just my device, but when I write something in the "answer" section of the notecard, I see the text in the textbox jitter a bit. It's barely noticeable but the blurry text messes with my eyes a bit. Aside from that minor nitpick, again, it's a great app!

I discovered Brainscape by watching YouTube reviews of Flashcards APPs. I used a different flashcards app when I was getting my Bachelor's degree, but it no longer exists. I am loving the web interface and how it syncs to my phone. I can use text, images and sound! And of course formatting of text. The algorithm learns from my input and reduces the display of items that I get right, and increases the frequency of things that I need to become more proficient on. Totally five stars!

What’s new

There’s nothing groundbreaking in this update, unless you count the emotional breakthrough we had while fixing a typo in the code. (We cried. Then we grew.) Anyway, back to you: keep learning. You’re incredible.
