Primary Memory Tips
Help your child to create visual images of things he or she is trying to remember.- Help your child to make associations by pointing out and talking about things that go together.
- Make lists with your child.
- Make sure your child gets a proper amount of sleep.
- Help your child think of a humorous phrase or image that your child can associate with information he or she is trying to memorize.
- Encourage your child to use “chunking”. Group items from a long list into smaller chunks and your child can focus on rehearsing smaller chunks in sequence.
- Ask your child to rehearse information out loud.
- Rehearse information your child is learning. Ask them one or two times each day to tell you about e.g. the letters of the alphabet, or the days of the week.
