Daily Review

Overview

Daily review strengthens previous learning and can lead to fluent recall. Reviewing previously learned content on a daily basis strengthens the neural connections over time that are necessary for developing expertise.

    Example: Use This Strategy in the Classroom

  • Beginning lessons with five to eight minutes of review provides regular practice. For example, daily practice of Vocabulary, interweaving (formally interleaving) older and newer words, allows students to see each practiced word multiple times and as a unit rather than individual letters, thereby increasing Sight Recognition. When students do not have to decode every word, they can use their cognitive effort to focus on comprehension. Daily writing practices, such as having children sign in or review spelling words, can strengthen Foundational Writing and Handwriting Skills.

    • Design It into Your Product

  • Designing a quick review of previous concepts, layering ones learned at different times, stimulates recall of the skills and concepts that are necessary to grasp the new content. Developers can insert these reviews before a new level or lesson to support automaticity and consolidation of knowledge into Long-term Memory.

    More Repetition Strategies

    Guided Practice

    Spending time on literacy practices with assistance from a teacher helps to move new content, concepts, and ideas into Long-term Memory.

    Individual Deliberate Practice

    Practicing until achieving several error-free attempts is critical for retention.

    Rereading

    Students build their confidence and skills by reading and rereading books.

    Verbal Repetition

    Having students verbally repeat information such as instructions ensures they have heard and supports remembering.
