PWA Lead As adults, we often try to remember things in the short term by repeating them over and over out loud. But there’s a more effective way called elaborative rehearsal that you can practice with {LEARNER_FNAME}!
PWA Materials Your grocery list
PWA Progress Marker Always recalls high number of story items;Recalls a few story items consistently;Recalling more and more story items
PWA Question Body How many items did {LEARNER_FNAME} remember from the story?
PWA Tags Numbers/ Words
PWA Try this Go over the items on your grocery list out loud with {LEARNER_FNAME} and ask {OBJ_PRONOUN} to repeat back as many items as {SUBJ_PRONOUN} can remember. Chances are, there won't be many. Work with {LEARNER_FNAME} to create a story involving the items on your list. Maybe a fruit-eating monster wants to steal your kiwis and bananas, and the only way to stop him is to wrap him in tin foil and squirt toothpaste in his eyes! Re-tell the story as you're grabbing items in the store to help {LEARNER_FNAME} recall everything on the list:So the monster was just about to gobble up the kiwi when we realized how we could capture him. What did we use to hold him captive?
PWA Variations
PWA What to look Note each time {LEARNER_FNAME} remembers an item from the story. Did {SUBJ_PRONOUN} remember the tin foil and toothpaste to defeat the monster? Remember how many things {LEARNER_FNAME} could recall from the list before you told the story? Now count how many things {SUBJ_PRONOUN} remembered with the help of elaboration. Keep this tool in mind the next time you want {LEARNER_FNAME} to remember several things!
PWA Why this matters Children are continuously processing and learning new information, much of which is stored as Working Memory, so this type of activity has great implications for development and education. Research shows that this kind of elaboration, which {LEARNER_FNAME} can apply to all kinds of contexts (academic and otherwise), helps young learners keep more information in mind for longer periods of time.
