A good working memory is crucial to becoming a successful leaner, yet there is very little material available in an easy-to-use format that explains the concept and offers practitioners ways to support children with poor working memory in the classroom.

This book provides a coherent overview of the role played by working memory in learning during the school years, and uses theory to inform good practice.

Topics covered include:

" the link between working memory skills and key areas of learning (such as literacy & numeracy)

" the relationship between working memory and children with developmental disorders

" assessment of children for working memory deficits

" strategies for supporting working memory in under-performing children

This accessible guide will help SENCOs, teachers, teaching assistants, speech and language therapists and educational psychologists to understand and address working memory in their setting

Working Memory and Learning: A Practical Guide for Teachers PDF

This book is easy to read, and it covers a topic "Working Memory" in far greater detail than other articles and references that are generally available in the US. I am pleased to see this topic being discussed, as my child has impaired working memory. We are struggling to determine the best methods possible to help her learn. I would recommend this book to all teachers and to parents who have a child with impaired working memory.

In a time when research shows that learning and social language skills increase when children with special needs are included in the regular education classrooms, practical tools seem to be scarce for educators to develop strategies that serve the learning needs of all in their classroom. The largest group of children on IEP's present with working memory deficits; however, your classrooms also include many children that have not formally been identified with learning disabilities who also have working memory weakness. Working Memory and Learning: A Practical Guide for Teachers is a wonderful tool for all educators to educate and arm themselves with strategies that help you modify the same curriculum across all populations in your classroom. If you are a parent of a child who is struggling or failing in the regular classroom, read this book to gain insight and empower yourself in ways to help your child learn more efficiently in the classroom environment.
