How to Create & Save Flashcard Sets

Ellii has over 3,000 flashcards to help students learn vocabulary. You can use them to elicit, practice, or review vocabulary or grammar structures with your students. Use them as a warm-up, filler, or review for a related lesson. You can even use them as a vocabulary or grammar lesson unto themselves.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1

Once you have successfully logged in, click on Materials and select Flashcards from the drop-down menu.

Step 2

On the Flashcards page, you will see a list of sections to choose from.
