Description: | Select Guide Rating This new edition of the previously titled Improving Working Memory, introduces readers to the topic; and provides strategies to use in the classroom to support student's additional learning needs. It is hard to conceive of a classroom activity that does not involve working memory – our ability to work with information. In fact, it would be impossible for students to learn without working memory. From following instructions to reading a sentence, from sounding out an unfamiliar word to calculating a math problem, nearly everything a student does in the classroom requires working with information. Even when a student is asked to do something simple, like take out their science book and open it to page 289, they have to use their working memory.
