Two ways to practice with cards:          Test Cards
                                       1. I read
1. Put the answers on the back, but    2. I cover it up
                                       3. I test myself
you will need to remember more at
once before you check
2. Use a piece of paper and move
down to reveal answers as you guess
the contents.
These techniques are very useful for
checking that you know key facts.
