When I was in the classroom, I started each learning block the same way - reviewing previously learned material. Why? Because filing cabinets of course!
Have you ever noticed what happens when you start filling an empty filing cabinet with folders? All the folders in the front get pushed to the back when something new comes in. Guess what? Our brains are our filing cabinets and the same is true in there! It's the reason why kids studying for a test act like they have never even heard some of the stuff when you are reviewing together the night before. It's been a minute and some information has been sent to the back of their cabinet. Students of all ages need to bring the stuff from the back all the way to the front on a regular basis, not just the night before they may need it. Reviewing connects new learning to what was previously learned and helps to make it all make sense. Not only will this make your life easier now, it will benefit your child in the long run by setting up a healthy study habit for the future when they are able to work more independently.
