Building Working Memory Skills for Kindergarten Success

Working memory - shorthand for the ability to hold and manipulate information in your mind over short periods - is crucial for kindergarten readiness.


Here are some easy ways to create an environment that supports working memory by engaging your children in activities that improve this essential cognitive skill:

  • Introduce working memory skills to your children through fun activities, like matching card games or simple sequence recall tasks. 


  • Encourage your child to repeat instructions or sequences of events and to remember and follow multi-step instructions during everyday activities like cooking or getting dressed.


  • Make it attainable by organizing tasks into small, manageable steps and using visual aids like charts and lists. 


By practicing these techniques, children develop the working memory skills needed to follow through on tasks and thrive in a classroom setting.
