Flashcards vs. Mobile Apps — What’s More Effective for Preschool Learning?
Mobile apps are flashy and colorful, but are they really helping your child learn?
Flashcards — especially when used in hands-on ways — offer interactive, brain-building engagement that screens simply can’t match. Here’s why:
| Feature | Flashcards (Tevety) | Mobile Apps |
|---|---|---|
| Tactile Engagement | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |
| Eye Strain Risk | ❌ None | ✅ High with prolonged use |
| Parent Involvement | ✅ Encouraged | ❌ Often isolated use |
| Retention | ✅ Higher (multi-sensory) | ❌ Lower (passive swipes) |
Tevety’s flashcards are made to stimulate multiple senses — visual, auditory (with phonics), and even kinesthetic with game-like elements. Children learn faster and retain better when they touch, see, say, and play.
So if you’re choosing between a phone app and a flashcard game, remember this: Screens teach with shortcuts. Flashcards teach for life.
