The aim of this exercise is to improve
the children's linguistic responsiveness
the particular accuracy in the reproduction of information
strategies to develop memory skills
The children train strategies to be able to remember information that is taken in a certain order and to be able to reproduce it in reverse order.
Instructions
This exercise can be done in different ways.
A) Recall memory content that is already stored automatically - in reverse order and increasing the level of difficulty....
Example:
Alphabet from Z-A
Alphabet from Z-A omitting the vowels
Alphabet from Z-A omitting every second (third...) letter.
b) Reproduction of work orders, oral or written instructions. All steps of a task or activity are reviewed, from the last to the previous step to the beginning.
c) Experiences or stories - told backwards. The teacher tells a story to the class. The children are asked to listen attentively and remember all the details.
Here, too, all the steps from the last to the previous to the beginning are replayed.
Variations
This exercise is ideal as a follow-up to the exercise Continuation Story (II). As a supplement to the exercise "Continuation story", the "Sentence stories" can be built back up again.
