Effective learning is all about making connections between pieces of information. It isn’t enough for most kids just to read through bits of information hoping to retain it for use in exams.

A good way of bolstering revision techniques is to make visual connections as well as written ones. By drawing charts using colours, children (and adults for that matter) often learn better because their brain’s find it easier to pick up on the visual clues when they have to remember things.

It also helps to read aloud the things that are being revised. Hearing the information creates an audible connection as well as a visual one which strengthens the learning process.
