The control card lets students find and fix their own errors, which is how humans learn best, with no teacher correction required. Beyond that, remember that interest drives learning. Students who are interested in butterflies will choose these cards again and again, and that curiosity can carry even a reluctant reader through repeated reading practice. The cards also build vocabulary, part of the language comprehension side of reading in both Gough and Tunmer's (1986) simple view of reading and Scarborough's (2001) reading rope. By reading the word proboscis now, a student will recognize and understand it when they later meet it in a science text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"accordion group\" is=\"\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cspan class=\"accordion__toggle text-lg\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do you use Parts of the Butterfly 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\n\u003cp\u003eBegin by using the photo-only cards to teach the names of the parts (via the three-period lesson), starting with the whole butterfly.
