For All My Boom Card Lovers

What is there to love about Boom Cards?
- They are digital: Whether you want to do a whole group lesson on a smartboard/computer, go 1:1 classroom, or use them for distance learning, Boom Cards make everything seamless as they are completely digital. Plus, you get to save trees! 🙂
- They are self-checking: No more checking individual assignments! Boom Cards are self-checking and the students will get live feedback as they complete the assignment.
- It’s easy to differentiate: You will get live progress reports on all of your students, and they will tell you exactly what your students’ strengths and weaknesses are. This will save you so much time, and allows you to focus your energy on serving your students by catering to their individual needs. You can assign different decks of cards to different students depending on their levels.
- Audio is included: Most of my Boom Cards have audio support to aid those students who need extra help. This will further help students to work independently!
- They are fun: Last but not least, Boom Cards are super fun and engaging. Students love them because they feel like they’re playing a game. It tickles me when I get feedback saying that the students’ begged to play Boom Cards. It’s definitely a win-win! Teachers provide a meaningful resource, and students have fun and learn in a meaningful way.
