I just wanted to share my experience to help a child improve short term memory using the colouring boxes techniques. Hopefully you can try out the technique and see if it helps the child you may be working with.
SB enjoys drawing and colouring in so I thought this would be a great activity to try and see how SB reacts and performs to something new with colours.
I created a blank grid using MS Excel and explained the task to SB. At first when I called out the colours and grids SB had difficulty getting the sequencing correct but with a few attempts SB managed to pick out the correct colours and shade in the appropriate grids. It did take SB some time to decide on the colours but this activity proved to be positive as it showed me that SB’s short term memory was sharp even though it took him considerable time to perform the task. I will be continuing this activity with SB increasing difficulty as he progresses
