Reading is essential to a person's life, especially to a child as this serves a key to

wisdom and unlocks the gateway of imagination, pleasures, and glimpse of the world
(Nedira, 2009).
What are the best reading strategies and materials for remedial teaching when
we talk about reading? Below is one of the best materials used in remedial teaching, let
us see how it is being used, its defining characteristics, benefits and approach being
encompassed to help students read:
Flashcards for Dolch sight words
WHAT IS IT?
As stated in Wikipedia, The Dolch word list is a list

of frequently used English words (also known as sight
words), compiled by Edward William Dolch, a major
proponent of the "whole-word" method of beginning reading
instruction. The list was first published in a journal article in
1936 and then published in his book Problems in Reading
in 1948.
Sight words instruction is an excellent supplement to

phonics instruction. Phonics is a method for learning to
read in general, while sight words instruction increases a
child’s familiarity with the high frequency words he will
encounter most often.
DEFINING CHARACTERISTICS OF FLASHCARD:
Flashcards are small note cards used for testing and

improving memory through practiced information retrieval.
Flashcards are typically two-sided, with the prompt on one side
and the information about the prompt on the other. This may
include names, vocabulary, concepts, or procedures. Usually
there are several flashcards that, as a group, represent a
category of information you’re trying to remember, learn, and
master.
BENEFITS DOES FLASHCARDS CAN GIVE TO LEARNERS:
How beneficial these flashcards are in remedial teaching among the learners?
 Using flashcards can be a very effective self-testing approach. Even the act of
making flashcards is a way to “work” the information, challenging you to think
about which information to have on one side and the related description on the
other.
 This also frees up some memory, since you will have a physical stack of cards
with the information instead of trying to store individual facts, names, or terms in
your mind.
 Flashcards are often part of spaced practice, and repetition helps you figure out
what information you can remember easily and what needs additional effort.
 From a time management perspective, flashcards allow you to take advantage of

short amounts of time that become available throughout the day or week, in
addition to during planned study sessions.
STRATEGY/PPROACH
Let us find out how to effectively use flashcards in imposing strategic remedial reading
Traditional use of flashcards is for memorization only. It is important to use the

flashcards multiple times. Just like the first time you review any relatively new
information, the first time you use the flashcards may be a bit overwhelming or
frustrating because of the “forgetting” that has occurred. Here’s the good news: with
repetition, you will remember more and more, therefore forgetting less and less. The
“forgetting curve” levels out, and the learning becomes “durable”. (Essentially,
this means you will remember the information long term!)
READING STRATEGIES:
Here are some strategies being used for an effective remedial reading:
Inferring
Bringing together what is spoken (written) in the text, what is unspoken

(unwritten) in the text, and what is already known by the reader in order to extract and
construct meaning from the text.
Visualizing-Organizing
Constructing a mental image or graphic organizer for the purpose ofextracting

and constructing meaning from the text.
Monitoring-Clarifying
Thinking about how and what one is reading, both during and after the act of
reading, for purposes of determining if one is comprehending the text combined with the
ability to clarify and fix up any mix-ups.
