memorization techniques for student--suggestions?

[Josh Wilson]

Possibly a very dumb idea - or maybe not - have you tried asking him to code
the vocabulary? IE, associate the letters with numbers so that he can
memorize them in a way he is comfortable with (so long as he can code them
back, of course.)

 

Not sure at all what his abilities are - and this might be too roundabout to
work, but perhaps with suggesting.

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

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
