LESSON PLANS
You can teach students how to remember words in a systematic fashion. For most students, you can start with a few words at a time and introduce a few more at a time. If word families are difficult, start with easily decodable words. Counter-intuitively, it can be useful for students with a profound challenge with remembering words to memorize symbols from a different language (that the student cannot sound out) or a combination of numbers and letters.
