The following are possible instructional tips that can assist learners with their memory challenges:

• Use concrete examples before teaching abstract concepts
• Break demonstrations and/or assignments into segments of shorter tasks
• Use short sentences
• Relate information to the learners' world - build on individuals' interests and likes
• Provide an overview of the lesson prior to beginning
• Continue to review material before any new information is presented - teach one concept at a time
• Repeat and restructure continually
• Continue to monitor and discuss learners' comprehension of what is being learned
• With adults, have them take notes on verbal directions
• Highlight important concepts to be learned in the text
• Encourage learners to explain the new concepts in their own words
• Use a variety of senses when doing a task (read, write, visualize, manipulate, apply) - physical performance of sequential activities⁷¹
