Therefore, it is a good idea to ask him questions about the reading he reads.

Talk about the memories

Memories are also good options to work memory. You can think about things that have happened in your life that have made a difference in your life and remember the details. Have your child do the same. As he grows, help him create stories from his memories. The memories of your child will be richer and he will learn to transmit them in a clear way.

Make connections

It is necessary to capture their interest for this to be possible, to establish connections between what was already known and the knowledge acquired and the new knowledge to learn.
