PWA Try this Ask {LEARNER_FNAME} to play a game where you will make something out of smaller pieces. If you’re using Lego, you can make building a "tower" the goal of the game (if you have other objects, think of another goal, such as making a "family" of animals or a "road" of sticky notes).   Put at least four blocks in front of {LEARNER_FNAME} and say: I want to show you which blocks I’d like to use for our tower. Look carefully so you can see.   Point to two blocks and ask {OBJ_PRONOUN} to pass me the blocks you pointed to. Repeat the game three times, pointing to two different blocks each time and adding them to the tower.  After a few rounds, try pointing to three blocks, and later, try four blocks. If {LEARNER_FNAME} makes a mistake, go back a step.
PWA Variations
PWA What to look Keep track of the number of items that {LEARNER_FNAME} remembers. What’s the greatest number of blocks that {SUBJ_PRONOUN} consistently remembered? The gradual increase in quantity allows you to see the point at which {LEARNER_FNAME} starts to reach the bounds of {POS_PRONOUN} working memory.
PWA Why this matters Research shows the number of items that children remember is affected by everything from the kind of objects you use, to how you label them, to how tired {LEARNER_FNAME} is in the moment.  So while this one activity won’t tell you everything about {LEARNER_FNAME}’s working memory, it will help you get a better idea of {POS_PRONOUN} current abilities and help {OBJ_PRONOUN} improve at the same time.
