Abstract
The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children - Third
Edition (WISC-III) is the instrument used by psychologists
administering cognitive assessments to students in Palliser
Regional Schools; commonly identified areas of difficulty
include memory and attention deficits. The purpose of this
project was to collect and collate proven teaching
strategies to assist students whose difficulties with
memory and/or maintaining attention impact negatively on
their learning. Theoretical background information on
memory and attention is summarized. Strategies to foster
memory development include general strategies (mnemonics,
associative, visual, auditory and temporal/environmental)
and subject-specific strategies (reading, mathematics and
spelling). Teaching approaches to assist students in
maintaining appropriate attention and focus are outlined.
All strategies discussed in the document were derived from
academic research or practical teacher experience.
