Inevitably, we <span class=\"italic\">all<\/span> face these issues from time to time. But for a child with more significant memory challenges, these issues can have a dramatic impact on the learning process. Is there hope? <span class=\"italic\">YES!<\/span> But let\u2019s back up to consider several important questions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>What Is Working Memory?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\t<p>Working memory is the ability to hold information in your brain for a short period of time while you work with or manipulate the information. Working memory is critical for learning to read and spell. <\/p>\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Improving-Memory-Child-Brain-Green-350x471-1.png\" alt=\"child silhouette with brain\" width=\"300\" class=\"right\" \/>\r\n<p>For example:<\/p>\r\n\t<ul>\r\n \t\t<li>It helps you sound out unfamiliar words.<\/li>\r\n \t\t<li>It helps you keep your place in the text, allowing you to look away from the page yet still find your place again.<\/li>\r\n \t\t<li>It helps you remember the words you just read as you finish the sentence or paragraph, enabling <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/reading-comprehension\/\" title=\"reading comprehension\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">better comprehension<\/a>.<\/li>\r\n \t\t<li>It makes it possible for you to compose a cohesive paragraph, writing down one sentence while you think of the next.<\/li>\r\n\t<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<p>Working memory is one of the most important indicators of how easily a child can learn. In fact, research has shown that working memory is actually a much better indicator than an IQ score of how easily a person can learn.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Signs Your Child Has Poor Working Memory<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Children with poor working memory will struggle with tasks that require them to hold some information in their minds (such as a <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/spelling-dictation\/\" title=\"How to Do Spelling Dictation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dictated sentence<\/a>) while doing something else that is challenging to them (such as spelling the words). Without some adaptations, a child may fail to complete a task because crucial information (in this case, the remainder of the sentence) is dropped from their memory and is no longer available to them. It may appear that the child is not paying attention, but in reality, the child may simply have forgotten what he or she is supposed to do.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"bold\">In addition, children with poor working memory may have one or more of the following problems.<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>They may have difficulty paying attention to lessons.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>They may seem uncooperative during learning activities.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>They may fail to comprehend what they are reading.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>They can\u2019t follow a string of instructions.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>They \u201cspace out\u201d during lessons.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>They seem forgetful.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>They often misplace things.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>They struggle to complete multistep activities.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>They often forget what they were going to say.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<h2>6 Ways to Build Your Child\u2019s Working Memory<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>As you implement the six ideas below, you <span class=\"italic\">will<\/span> begin to see improvement in your child\u2019s working memory.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<ol class=\"large fall\">\r\n \t<li><span class=\"bold\">Avoid <a title=\"The Funnel Concept\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/the-funnel-concept\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">information overload<\/a><\/span>. When too much information is presented in a lesson, your child\u2019s working memory becomes overloaded.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><span class=\"bold\">Eliminate distractions<\/span>. When your child is working, try to reduce distractions such as TV or radio in the background, siblings or classmates talking, and toys or other interesting activities nearby.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><span class=\"bold\">Make sure your child is comfortable during lessons<\/span>. Physical stress (from things like headaches, an uncomfortable chair, hunger, being too hot or too cold, and eye strain due to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/vision-problems\/\" title=\"undefined\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">vision issues<\/a> or from facing a bright window) can have a negative effect on working memory.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><span class=\"bold\">Read aloud every day for at least 20 minutes<\/span>. When you read aloud, your child has to recall what you just read and anticipate what is coming next. All the while, he is interpreting the words and comprehending the story.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><span class=\"bold\">Do motivating activities with your child that require following instructions, such as crafts or <a title=\"ABC Snacks\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/tag\/abc-snacks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recipes<\/a><\/span>. She should read one or two simple steps and then complete them. (Depending on your child\u2019s reading level, either you can read the instructions or she can.) This will exercise and stretch your child\u2019s working memory.<\/li>\r\n\t<li><span class=\"bold\">Play games that build memory skills.<\/span> Concentration-style and matching games are a great option. <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/hedbanz\/\" title=\"Hedbanz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hedbanz<\/a> is another great memory-building game the whole family will enjoy playing together.<\/li>\r\n\t<\/ol>\r\n<p>And above all, have patience! This might be the hardest part! <a title=\"Encouraging Words\" href=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutlearningpress.com\/teacher-your-child-needs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Be encouraging<\/a>, and keep emotional stress to a minimum. If your child is worried about performing properly or disappointing you, that just adds another layer of stress that taxes working memory even more.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"box boxAlt\">\r\n<h2><cite>AAR<\/cite> and <cite>AAS<\/cite> Work Well for Kids with Working Memory Challenges<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>All learning involves working memory, and I made sure that the lessons in our programs reduce unnecessary load on the working memory.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Lessons are short and focused on just one concept at a time.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>When there are activities involved, we give only one or two instructions at a time, and the scripted verbal instructions are easy to understand.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>The lessons follow the same routine each day. This lessens the demand on working memory because the student knows what to expect, making it easier to focus on the lesson.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/using-letter-tiles\/\" title=\"Using Letter Tiles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">letter tiles<\/a> are color coded, giving the students visual cues as to what category they belong to on the magnet board.<\/li>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/rneumann2-600.jpg\" alt=\"Improving Working Memory - Memory Series #5 from All About Learning Press\" width=\"600\" class=\"center\" \/>\r\n\t<br \/>\r\n \t<li>With our mastery-based program, we make sure that students understand the basics before asking them to move on to a more complex task. For example, before asking a student to comprehend the sentence <span class=\"italic\">The hawk sat on her nest<\/span>, we make sure that the child is able to easily decode the word <span class=\"italic\">hawk<\/span>. Because the sounds of the phonogram AW have already been mastered, the child's working memory is freed up to work on comprehension.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Crucial information is reviewed frequently. This pushes the information into long-term memory, freeing up working memory space.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>An effective working memory is a necessary part of the learning process.
