How to Strengthen Working Memory - Fun Free Activities

Posted by Erica Warren on Mar 25, 2021

A strong working memory is now reported to be the cornerstone to academic success. It is a mental notepad where we post both visual and auditory information until we need to use it in short-term memory. Strengthening one's working memory can have a profound effect on a students' learning capacity, and there are activities that can help exercise this core cognitive skill.

What are People Say about my Working Memory & Hemisphere Integration Bundle Digital Download?

"I have quite a few of these resources. Good move on my part. I am a dyslexic specialist and my pupils love the exercises. One or two find it a tad challenging and get frustrated. So I do one or two while they observe/participate and are delighted when I ‘miss’ or make errors. Before you know it the children want to see if they can better my scores and beat me in timing..... works like a charm. Actually, I think it is me who is hooked. More so than the children (: Thank you for such original and varied resources."
"Wow! What a fun and thorough group of activities to increase working memory skills! Thank you! I even laminated some pages so that they can be used over and over with dry erase markers!"
"Amazing materials. I didn't know where to begin to help my daughter. I can't thank you enough!"
