Provide lots of opportunities for students to practice a new skill. Clinch new learning. Refresh their memories. Provide systematic review for the content you teach. Even the most motivating instruction will not be remembered unless it is reviewed in a systematic way.
Research supports the use of distributed rather than massed practice.
Devise a schedule of weekly review sessions and be sure to include games or other activity-based formats. Barbara Fulk, Illinois State University, Campus Box 5910, Normal, IL 61790-5910. Newsletter Copyright 1996-2001 WETA .
