Choose from 15 proven strategies that will help students recall, retain, and process auditory or visual information. The lessons focus on the strategies that improve short-term memory, long-term memory, and active working memory.
 
There are two sections: Auditory Memory and Visual Memory. Each section includes a pretest/posttest and in-depth instruction. Students get lots of practice with ten different activities for each strategy.
 
The Auditory Memory section includes these strategies:
  • rehearsing
  • chunking
  • creating checklists
  • graphing and charting
  • identifying key concepts
  • visualizing
  • paraphrasing
 
The Visual Memory section includes these strategies:
  • chunking
  • using acronyms and silly sentences
  • defining and drawing
  • graphing and charting
  • identifying key concepts
  • visualizing
  • paraphrasing
  • saying, tracing, writing, and drawing sounds
 
The interesting, functional activities use classroom-relevant topics (e.g., social studies, language arts, science), so as memory improves, so does comprehension in academic areas. The exercises are arranged in a hierarchy of difficulty and require minimal preparation time.
 
The book includes these student and parent handouts:
  • Enhancing Memory Skills
  • Checking Up: Which Strategy Works Best for You?
  • Strategies for Auditory Memory
  • Strategies for Visual Memory
