Retrieval Practice Cards

About this printable

This A4 printable contains 16 small cards, each with a coloured numbered dot, an icon and a short question or prompt (e.g. 'What is the key idea?', 'List three important details', 'Find a quote that shows this'). It's a generic retrieval-practice resource designed to be cut out and used flexibly across topics and subjects to prompt short written or spoken retrieval tasks. Questions emphasise main idea, details, cause/effect, evidence, connections and question-generation.
