Full teaching script
  1. Today: Study skills that actually work. Our goal: Use retrieval practice and spacing.
  2. Take one idea at a time. Pause after each sentence; ask for repetition whenever you need it.
  3. Re-reading alone often produces less durable learning than active practice. Strategies that can help include: close the book and write what you remember (retrieval), spread sessions across days (spacing), mix topics (interleaving), and explain it aloud to someone (the Feynman test).
  4. Together: choose one example from the explanation and show how it works. What do you notice?
  5. Your turn: Revise one topic by blank-page recall, then check it.
  6. Reflect: what made sense, and what would you like explained differently?
