There are several activities you can do to lift the memory performance of a child. Researchers have found that using mnemonic devices can help students improve their memory skills. Below are some suggested resources:
- Teaching Students Ways to Remember: Strategies for Learning Mnemonically by M.A. Mastropieri and T.E. Scruggs
Other articles suggest games to play that will encourage your child to use his/her memory to remember everyday occurrences.
- Tool Kit for Parents: Making It Stick
- Improve Memory Skills (Parents.com)
- Commands Game (Your Family Clinic)
Lastly, it may be beneficial to find a support group in your area to see what works for others. There are several publications, organizations, and support groups that exist to help individuals, teachers, and families to understand and cope with learning disabilities – see LD OnLine’s Finding Help section to get started.
