Working Memory and Executive Functioning skills
his session focusses on building working memory and developing executive functioning skills. Working memory underpins cognitive development and learning, allowing us to hold information and ideas in our head. It plays a large role in how we process, use, and remember information daily. Enhancing working memory can lead to greater confidence with reading comprehension and writing. Executive functioning involves working memory, allowing us to plan, self-regulate and problem-solve. Working memory and executive functioning are really the glue that holds all other skills together. These sessions are game-based, fun and relevant to the child’s everyday life, helping them to prioritise, organise themselves and feel confident in their thought processes – skills that are essential for confidence and success as they become increasingly independent.
