LEARN : Playful Strategies for All Students

LEARN is a book of strategies to enhance a student's learning, through use of playful yet effective multisensory teaching techniques. The strategies are appropriate for a variety of school age students and can be used by parents or teachers. Older students may be able to adapt many of the strategies independently. LEARN is an acronym for Learning Efficiently And Remembering mNemonics. Why mnemonics? Because mnemonics are a group of learning strategies that help capture information for storage and retrieval. Because mnemonics stimulate spatial and simultaneous strategies and can integrate them with more sequential strategies. Because mnemonics have a pattern, a critical component for successful recall. Because many children can learn silly mnemonic sentences or pictures just as easily as they learn commercials and jingles.
