When students need help memorizing rules for your subject, one of the best study tips is to make a ‘rulebook’ for the topic you are teaching. Using a rulebook helps students remember key facts the same way that a rhyme or other method does,but may help students that do not find other methods helpful.
When students struggle with memorization or memory in general, it is often a sign that their working memory is overloaded.
I've had my book, "Please Help Me With My Homework: Strategies for Parents and Caregivers" translated into Spanish. I was advised to have it translated into Castilian Spanish so that it would be universal. So, that's the dialect the book is presently in. I am not Spanish speaking. I had the book translated because of the need for Spanish speaking parents to have a resource to support their students. I do a lot of work with schools that have a significant bi-lingual population and believe this book may help some familes.
Using singing and music to help students remember material can be one of the most powerful tools in your teaching toolkit for reinforcing memorization and learning.
The techniques and strategies we use in grade school classes can be put to use anywhere learning takes place, including higher education and on-the-job training.
