PARENT TIP

Children learn new information in two stages: acquiring it and then processing it in the brain before it is stored away so that it has meaning.

You can apply some of the study skill techniques that teachers use if you get your child to go a step further than simply memorizing information.

Try these techniques to help your child process information and learn it.

Encourage your child to:

Recite or explain out loud in his own words what he has learned.
Compare and contrast one idea to another one.
