Activity to help working Memory

Now..... today I did a simple activity which I use regularly to help develop working memory for my children. We use magnetic letters to practice the alphabet and learn new words. One part of the activity is that the children make the word at the table and then walk to the white board and write the word on it. At the moment the children are asked to go to the board each time they make a word. As they get better they will be asked to create two words before writing them on the board. Simple activity which includes multisensory activities, movement and working memory.

    I am sure the kids really like the movement and the multi-sensory components of this activity Denise. Did you find the students very engaged?

    They love it Angela and it is amazing to see the growth in the kids both academically and emotionally. They have become much more confident and happy to have a go. They see this activity as a game and ask for it regularly.
