1 PRINTABLE FLASHCARD DIRECTIONS: Use Avery 8471 Business Cards. 10 cards per sheet x 220 cards = 22 sheets. (You can also reformat to fit other size cards). Just be careful to align word parts with definitions on reverse side. * You can also use plain paper and cut into cards to save money, but be careful not to use white computer paper, but rather cardstock, because you can see the definition on the other side and may cheat. :-) 1. Print flash cards' word parts FIRST. 2. Change setting on printer to reverse order (or, you can re-stack paper from last to first. 3. Flip pages over and insert into printer. 4. Print flash cards' definitions SECOND on opposite side of flash cards.
