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
Watch how this teacher reviews sight words one-on-one with a student for mastery before introducing new ones. By spending a few minutes practicing previously learned sight words, the student builds her Sight Recognition and automaticity of recall. This daily review also provides helpful feedback on which words she still needs to practice.
