555 An
effective teaching method is
one that breaks up learning into 5 minute chunks. 5
minutes of listening & note taking 5
minutes of oral tell-backs 5
minutes of rewriting This
predictable sequence is
easy to handle, even
for kids who may be
labeled “distractible” or “ADD.” Q.
How can this be used with
younger students just learning how to write? A.
Writing can simply be copying or tracing the words on paper. Giving them a sheet of guide phrases or memory triggers helps
them follow along with
the speaker and |
gives them something to trace. The
most important thing is
to keep the pencil moving while listening. This
allows all the sensory memories, visual,
auditory, kinesthetic
and tactile, can
act together to develop pre-reading and pre-writing skills. “555”
is a great tool for: 1.
Keeping kids on task in class. 2.
Keeping up their studies at home. Try
using “555” to help your student or child study for a
test. You’ll
be amazed at the results! To
