Flipflash Learning© - Learning tools for better memory and revision
The Pedagogy
Flipflash Learning is a flexible, structured learning system made up of clear, visual grid-based resources that support knowledge retention through active recall and repetition.
Â
Its core elements-flash grids, retrieval prompts, and scaffolded content pathways-allow teachers to break complex learning into manageable steps for whole-class teaching to targeted intervention groups. It is particularly powerful for SEND learners, helping to reduce cognitive overload and build confidence through predictable, easy-to-follow learning structures.
Â
Flipflash is versatile, it can be used in both primary and secondary schools, supporting pupils from early foundational learning through to exam preparation.
Why does Flipflash work?
The Flipflash Learning system and the Lewis teaching method are highly sophisticated because they do not rely on passive reading or rote memorisation. Instead, they seamlessly integrate several of the most powerful, evidence-based principles from cognitive science and educational psychology.
