Ask the child to look at the word and then close their eyes and visualise it in their heads( I point to forehead) Ask the child to see the word in colour,Ask them to imagine it big and then small, stretch it, change its colour.Make the tricky bit sparkle or flash. Ask the child to picture it on the bedroom wall. Then ask them to write it (eyes open ) with cursive writing This is particularly effective once it has been learnt.

Voice

Learning the times tables with a girl who knew all the words to the recent pop songs, recreate the times tables with a rap or tune and actions. This was only partially successful in terms of reciting times tables was excellent but the pupil was not able to find the answer to the questions 2x6, 2x8 out of context.
