Does your child forget vocabulary words within days of learning them?

The Leitner Box is a spaced repetition system using flashcards. Abacus teaches the same principle for vocabulary.

Here’s the promise: You’ll learn how to make vocabulary stick forever.

🧩 What is the Leitner Box?

It’s a physical flashcard system that schedules reviews at increasing intervals. Cards you know move forward; cards you forget go back. This is the most efficient vocabulary method.

🎯 How to Build a Leitner Box for Vocabulary

Get 5 boxes or dividers. Label 1,2,3,4,5. Make flashcards: Word on front, definition on back. Start all in Box 1 (daily review). Daily review rules: If correct → move to next box. If wrong → move back to Box 1. Review schedule: Box 1 = every day, Box 2 = every 2 days, Box 3 = weekly, Box 4 = every 2 weeks, Box 5 = monthly.
