Q: My daughter can’t seem to remember what she’s learned one day to the next. If she learns something new in math or if she reads a story in her reading book today, she won’t remember it tomorrow. How can I help her remember what she’s learning?
A: There are many learning strategies that help children with these challenges. Using visual reminders of what she’s learned can be great tools. She should try using post-it notes to mark pages with important information or highlighting words and sentences to emphasize key concepts as she reads. It is easier to refer back to information marked in this manner to review for a quiz, test or book report. Index cards are also very useful. She can use them to write down math concepts, vocabulary words, or even steps to writing a paragraph. These cards can be reviewed at home, on the bus or at school. Talking about what she learned is another good strategy. For example after she reads a page in a story she can stop and discuss the important points out loud with you or a friend. All of theses strategies will help strengthen her ability to hold onto the information she is learning everyday.
