I do exactly the same only the sentence is on the back. Not really much of a difference, but I like the front of my cards as simple as possible with nothing to distract me aside from whatever is being tested. If it's a word on the front, I'm testing the word, if it's a sentence on the front, I'm testing understanding of the sentence, etc.
