Chapter twelve points out the importance that, as teachers, we need to remember that how students learn is just as important as what they learn. In the memory section Armstrong talks about how there is no such person as a person with a “good memory”. Students all remember in different ways, it’s just the people who learn best through reading and writing that are considered the kids with the “good memory”. The chapter then goes on to give many examples for each type of learner as to how to memorize things. I like the different ideas and I plan on using some of the techniques in my own classroom. One of the techniques that I’m going to use was in the musical section. It suggest that putting spelling words into a song and having the student sing the spelling, this would be fun for all of the students, and would help the musical students quite a lot.
