Infos

Aimed at teachers of years 4 to 11 in the UK and overseas, Learning to Learn's practical strategies for registering, retaining, recalling and revising, are suitable for use with students in lessons. Working on the premise that successful learning depends partly on knowing why you want to learn, the first part of the book looks at motivation. How to learn is the focus of the remainder. From slicing, mind mapping and learning styles, through mnemonics, mind pegs and the seven keys of memory, to reviewing, snowballing and recording, the art of learning is explored and - using curriculum based examples - demonstrated.
