At School Word Cards

The At School Word Cards are a focused language resource designed to support students in learning, recognising and confidently using school-related vocabulary in the target language.

Each card presents a single word or phrase clearly in the target language, supporting accurate recognition, pronunciation, and recall. Used alongside spoken input and visual reference, these cards help students move from recognising vocabulary to actively using it when talking about their school environment and routines.

Designed for classroom teachers, specialist language teachers and homeschoolers, these Word Cards function as an instructional tool that supports explicit teaching, revision, and retrieval practice.
