Keith's Flashcards

Here are flash cards I have made up for various brief families. Some are very basic while many others are more complex. Each one is not intended to have all the briefs in a family but to have enough of the main ones to help me practice. I hope you find them as helpful as I do. You may write a lot of them differently than I do, which is okay if you can do it quickly and easily!

 

Make sure to use the random and auto-flip options for best practice. You probably want to start with an autoflip of about 4 to 5 seconds then get lower as you get better. Write each word or phrase out as many times as you can in that period. It is good to check with realtime and you can keep this window over your realtime.
