10 . Sometimes, children can’t keep a single bit of information in their mind while they are doing something else. If so, they may have p    1     with their working memory. It is an important skill for children. Here are some t    2     to help improve children’s working memory.

Read actively. They may form long-term (长时间的) memories more e    3     when children take part in active reading. Active reading i    4     not only asking notes, but also speaking aloud and asking questions about the material that they are reading.

Use visualization (形象化) skills. When reading something, ask children to imagine the scene of the story and d    5     it. For example, ask them to set a table for a few people and have a picture in their m    6    , and then have a description.

Ask them to teach others. Teaching a    7     person means being able to understand the information well before saying it aloud. When children are learning a new skill, ask them to show others h    8     to do it. They should be able to explain it to others.

M    9    , there are lots of matching games that can be played to improve their working memory, or you can use something simple like a m    10     or a newspaper. Have them find a certain word as many times as they can in one minute.
