It may also spark genuine curiosity about art history — a child who recognizes Van Gogh's face is more likely to look twice at a Van Gogh painting later, which is exactly the kind of personal connection that carries into the Fine Art Cards series.\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails class=\"accordion group\" is=\"\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003cspan class=\"accordion__toggle text-lg\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do you use 3-part cards?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"animated-plus group-expanded:rotate\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBegin by using the photo-only cards to teach vocabulary (via the 3-period lesson). Then, use the photo-only cards from this and other packets for sorting work. Add-in the sorting labels for children who are reading. Finally, when students are stretching past phonetic reading, use all three parts: lay out the photo cards, read and match the word labels to the photos, and use the control cards to check for accuracy independently (no teacher help required). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails class=\"accordion group\" is=\"\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003cspan class=\"accordion__toggle text-lg\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat ages are these cards for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"animated-plus group-expanded:rotate\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eTypically Kindergarten (ages 5–6) and above.
