Summary
The chapter focuses on cognitive strategies to assist with overcoming working memory difficulties, as told from the perspectives of dyslexic learners. These techniques range from using memory palaces, saying it out loud, highlighting keywords and using image association, using sense of smell as memory activator, using multisensory methods, using mnemonics, using repetition, writing things down, and using chunking, categorising, and organising of information. As in previous chapters, the strategies are introduced by using a clear step-by-step approach to each method. Some of the strategies are also highlighted by being punctuated with student quotes emphasising the benefits of a method.
