This is study of the use of colour labels flash cards for the deaf to understand Thai language sentence in relation to sign language, which had two objectives; 1) to develop Thai language sentence learning flash cards for the deaf students, and 2) to evaluate the teaching results using the developed flash cards. The purposive selected sample groups consisted of 6 experts, 26 deaf students of grade 3, 11 deaf students of grade 4, and 3 teachers. Research tools consisted of media attribute assessment form developed by the visual design checklist, content assessment form, feedback questionnaire, and pre-posttests, which had discriminant index in the range of 0.2-1.0. Data were collected according to two lesson plans. The quantitative data was analyzed by frequencies, averages, percentages, and the differences of test results between pretest and posttest using the Related-Samples Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The results showed that flash cards which had sign language vocabulary graphic and Thai vocabulary with graphic illustrations were effective. There were two sizes: large flash cards 14.50x20 cm and small flash cards 7x10 cm, 6 sentence component labels using rainbow colours, and the lesson plans. The quality assessment results were at the highest level and the post-test scores earned by the sample group were significantly different at 0.05 level.
