Parents often find that traditional study methods like highlighting and rereading notes are ineffective for long-term memory retention. Experts recommend the 60-Second Teach-Back technique, where children explain a topic aloud without notes. This method promotes active retrieval of information, strengthening memory pathways. A 2026 study in *Psychological Science* found that retrieval practice leads to better retention than mere repetition. David Smith, CEO of Silicon Valley High School, emphasizes that this technique encourages children to articulate their understanding, revealing knowledge gaps that rereading often conceals. The technique fosters deeper processing of information, builds confidence, and enhances verbal fluency. Regular practice can transform studying from a passive activity into an engaging learning experience. Parents can easily integrate this method into their daily routines, encouraging children to explain what they learned each day, thus reinforcing their knowledge and boosting self-assurance.
