06Learn To Study Smart with Memory Training Techniques
Posted By: vie on August 6, 2009 at 9:13 amWhen I went to school, I studied by rote learning. It taught students to memorize the facts. Therefore, when I was in high school, I chose physics as my major because my brain was too tired to memorize for subjects such as History, Geography.
Now, I watch my kids study. There is a comparison between the two siblings when they learnt to write at the first time:
My eldest, Andrea, went to pre-school who emphasizes on rote learning. She learnt to write and remember the word by writing it over and over again. She learnt to write the words through repetition.
My youngest, Aimee, went to pre-school who emphasizes on natural learning. The school warned us not to teach the kids to write the alphabet because they have their writing skills technique for kids. If we teach the kid, the kid may be confused with two different writing techniques, from school and from home. Aimee learnt to write the alphabet with ease. Later on, she learns to write the word by drawing the object next to her handwriting. This brings double benefits, she learns to draw and she learns the word by visualizing it into picture.
Tips for parents: Never teach the child to write early if he is not ready. Kids need to develop their fine motor skills before they learn to write. There are complaints that some kids have bad handwriting. It may be due to they don’t get the proper writing technique at early years.
From the example above, it proves that learning through visualization enables the kids to retain information in their brain permanently. Rote learning may give a quick result but the information retained in the brain will be for a short period.
We, moms, hope our kids to do well at school. We pushed them to study hard. What if we can show them the learning technique to make them study smart, not hard?

| Young children are active and their attention is short. They learn the best way through play and fun activities. I remember that my kids learnt the alphabet through playing with Educational Puzzles. Here is the article from Nicole Dean on ways to introduce alphabet to children. 7 Ways To Introduce Your Child To The Alphabet How to teach your child the alphabet can be accomplished in a variety of ways. While there are many educational tools available today, your child can participate in different forms of learning within the home. Here are 7 ways to introduce your child to the alphabet.• Buy alphabet books. • Make an alphabet chart and add objects or pictures to correspond to the letters. • Use alphabet magnets on your refrigerator. • Sing the alphabet to your child every night. • Purchase alphabet blocks. • Say each letter while pointing to it, whether in block or magnet form. • Purchase the Leap Frog education toy to teach babies and toddlers. While the reading scores, based on the national level, are down; you can do whatever is necessary to ensure your child is able to read before attending pre-K. By using an alphabet chart, your child will be able to equate letters with names of objects. Also, singing the alphabet engages your child to join in. The Leap Frog educational products are a sound method used to teach babies and toddlers the alphabet. In combination with your own creative tools, your child can have fun and learn at the same time. Visual aids in conjunction with books are fundamental in teaching and garnering a child’s attention. With every page, repeat the letters over and over, while pointing to the associated picture. Magnets on refrigerator doors are another tool to engage your child in learning the alphabet.All learning is based upon learning the alphabet. When the association is made between a letter and an object, the process is in full swing. While walking properly is important for the child’s physical health, reading is just as important to the child’s mental health. When your child looks at a letter, such as A for apple; and makes the connection, the excitement you feel as a parent cannot be put into words. Properly taught, children can begin the process of learning and begin a journey on the path to achievement.Although using these 7 ways to introduce your child to the alphabet is just a start, the real work lies ahead. Engaging your child to fully participate in the learning process is the key. The alphabet is the foundation upon which all words are formed. By using the methods described herein, including singing the alphabet, you are teaching your child to want to learn more. Further, a whole new world is opening up in which words will not only allow them to communicate, but advance their understanding of the importance of learning. |
