4.1

Remembering two things at a time


Why is this important?
Verbal understanding is like a ‘list’ of things/items that need to be
remembered in order to carry out the task. An example of a two-word level
instruction is ‘Give doll a banana’ (e.g. children have to remember ‘doll’ and
‘banana’). If children can’t do this, it may be that their auditory memory is
not yet sufficiently developed.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What to do
• Put out four everyday objects (e.g. cup, teddy, pencil, sock).
• Say ‘Give me pencil and teddy’.

Make sure the child waits until the end of the instruction before responding.
• Hold out your hands for the items.
• Replace and ask for two different items.
N.B. Try to remember not to look at the items as you ask for them,

or eye-point during the task as this gives clues over and above the meanings of the words only.
• Work towards the same aim via different activities:

Play a shopping game, or put two animals into the field,

or two items of clothing into the washing machine, etc.
‘Kim’s Game’ is good for developing memory and observation skills and is also
great fun. Collect a small number of items on a tray and cover them with a cloth.
Sit in a group where all the children can see the tray. Take away the cloth and
allow the children time to scan the items carefully. Re-cover the tray then ask
each child which items they can remember. The one who remembers most wins
the game.

FAITH
  • Through our Christian school and ethos, we all aim to believe in ourselves, each other, our teachers, leaders and parents. With reflection and prayer, we trust in God that our prayers will be heard. We know that every child is a child of Jesus, treating everyone with respect and dignity that they deserve.

    Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.
    Matthew 7:7

WISDOM
  • We aim to build our pupils’ and teachers’ confidence, delight in their teaching & learning and discipline in seeking wisdom; gaining the truth, knowledge, understanding and skills they will need in their everyday lives. We offer a broad and inspiring curriculum that nurtures emotional intelligence, creativity and remembering of important knowledge. We teach and learn collaboratively leading to our pupils developing the life skills of learning.

ASPIRATION
  • We aim to be the best we can be. Whilst nurturing our pupils’ and staff, we encourage and drive them to aspire to achieve their hopes and dreams. We are honest in the fact that this will take hard work, perseverance and resilience.

    For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
