The key to good learning, lies in memorizing tricks
Early morning hours have immense energy
When you wake up in the morning you have a clear mind and are ready to learn everything. Learning first thing in the morning has been an age old practice. During ancient times, when Gurukul existed, disciples used to woke up very early in the morning. The learning process used to begin during dawn time and before that the disciples used to complete their morning chores. Putting this age old method into practice can work effectively for modern kids as well. No matter, how much things have advanced, the teaching-learning process stills remains the same.
Record and listen
If you learn best by listening to things, record yourself reading the things you wish to memorize. It is a known fact that repeatedly hearing something helps one remember it. Record the passage you want to memorize on your phone so you can listen to it later. Speaking and listening to it repeatedly might help you remember things better.
Write everything
Kids should be encouraged to write, rewrite, and repeat it for days. A subject written continuously is easy to remember. Kids mostly dislike the idea of writing. Try to make it interesting for them like making new notebooks for each subject, or maybe a different color pen for each subject.
Repetition pattern
A central key to understanding and learning better is repetition. Write and repeat writing things that you learn. Writing down something repeatedly helps you remember things easily. Kids often dislike writing and assume that they can remember everything by simply reading a text. Encourage your kid to write more. If it is a difficult subject, ask your kid to write more.
Recall your subjects
Follow a fixed time table
Nothing works, if it is not planned. There is a reason why schools run on a fixed timetable. Ask your kid to follow that at home too. Help your kid with preparing a time table that includes new learning and revision. A step-by-step approach can make the learning process easier for your kid.
