The Effect of Using Flashcards on Developing Dolch Sight Word Recognition Skills among Primary School Pupils in Kuwait

The current research aimed to identify the effect of using flashcards on developing Dolch Sight Word Recognition Skills among primary school pupils in Kuwait. The researcher prepared Flashcards on Dolch Sight Words suitable for second and third-graders at primary school. Recognition Skills were measured using an assessment card of Dolch Sight Word Recognition Skills for second and third-graders at primary school. The significant differences between the pre and post-measurements were calculated in the Dolch Sight Word Recognition test. The results showed statistically significant differences at the level (0.01) between the mean scores of the female second graders on the assessment card of Dolch Sight Word Recognition Skills in favor of post-measurement and statistically significant differences at the level (0.01) between the mean scores of the female third graders on the assessment card of Dolch Sight Words Recognition Skills in favor of post-measurement.

In recent years, the most important change in the field of teaching and learning a second/foreign language has been the shift from a focus on language to a focus on language teaching methodology to language learners and the learners' variables that affect language learning. As a result, individual differences and learning styles have become increasingly important as they play a vital role in helping learners achieve better achievement in language learning.
