Bards & Poets Grammar Flashcards
Print or copy the flashcards onto cardstock (double-sided). Because every printer is different, you will need to use your particular printer’s settings to make sure the paper feeds properly so that the fronts and backs match up. I suggest that you manually feed the cardstock into the printer, and print the pages one at a time, beginning with page 4. Always print a test copy on scrap paper first.
Instructions for use are provided in the Bards & Poets Student Book Appendix.
