#boosts memory

The most common response to questions that the teacher asks must be “I don’t remember!”. Weak memory seems to be the new flu in the Emirates with children trying hard to remember what they've learnt but often failing!  In addition, Emirati mothers are often seen telling children to eat almonds and drink milk to sharpen their minds.

But how effective are home remedies, and is there anything else that can be done to ensure that student memories can be strengthened?  It's possible to take a leaf out of the books of the best schools in the UAE and to design methodologies that help students understand better and for longer.

Opt for the best British schools in Dubai to help learn and retain in order to lay the foundations correctly. Read the article below to know how teachers and parents can help improve the student’s memory.

Tips to improve student memory

From rhyming words to creating poems, to creating pseudonyms to help children remember, there are a lot of tricks in the books that can help strengthen the most essential part of the body, i.e. the memory. Read the article below to know the steps to ensure a stronger memory in children:

Create songs and rhythms

Kindergartens and nurseries have it right! They’re constantly reciting poems and singing songs to help. How else did we all learn the alphabet if not musically? It’s easier to learn through patterns and music  and children tend to remember things better.

Allow questions

Are we really learning if we’re not asking questions? Encourage questions at home and in classrooms, because it helps ensure comprehension about the subject. And when children are asking questions, they are also developing essential life skills such as problem-solving and critical thinking.

Promote active learners

When children are constantly asked questions about a certain topic, they have no choice but to keep the information in mind, increasing their memory power. School and classroom learning should promote active thinking in children, and involving them in the conversation motivating them to participate in classrooms and at home.

Incorporate visual aides

Visual aides are excellent sources of learning regardless of how old students or children are. Words and images both can be used for matching exercises and practicing definitions of complicated words. The visual aspect of learning helps children learn and retain the information they’ve learnt for a longer time.

Help them create mind maps

Creating relationships between different aspects is perhaps the most fun and viable way of learning. When children build relationships between topics, words and other learning elements, they are used to develop a deeper understanding of the topics at hand

Use keywords or subjects or ideas

A list of relevant keywords can help build associations between interesting, catchy words and concepts, so prepare a list with each lesson. More distinct associations make it easier for children to learn and remember their learning.

Use all senses

Learning can be a result of all senses and isn't just limited to exclusively sight or hearing or touch. It can be a combination of more than one senses engaging students in multiple ways, making it easier to connect with the learning material at hand.

Take Away

Small changes here and there can help strengthen student’s memory and help them retain information for a longer time. Since learning provides a foundation for all future learning, it’s critical that all learning work together to create comprehensive knowledge.
