memorization techniques for student--suggestions?

[Monnier, Nicole M.]

Judith!

An online suggestion: the site quizlet.com allows students to make their own flashcards. The idea in itself is not novel, but I (and my students) have been impressed by the multiple ways this particular site allows students to practice and test the material. There's the usual flashcards, but it also allows for matching, multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank exercises; it also has a couple of games students can play. Your student might find a particular exercise (or set of exercises) useful.

Best,

Nicole

Subject: [SEELANGS] memorization techniques for student--suggestions?

Dear colleagues,
I have a student who is a highly functioning autistic learner—he can memorize strings of numbers with no problem, but cannot keep vocabulary words in his mind. Has anyone encountered this before, and if so, do you have useful suggestions? Thanks so much in advance.
Judy
