Great book。 Does everything a book about education should: gives a brief introduction to the rationale， supports it with research， provides plenty of examples for in-classroom use， then stands out of the way and lets classroom teachers determine what's best for them。 Excellent。 Great book。 Does everything a book about education should: gives a brief introduction to the rationale， supports it with research， provides plenty of examples for in-classroom use， then stands out of the way and lets classroom teachers determine what's best for them。 Excellent。 。。。more

Words cannot describe how much I rate this book but I will give it a go。 This fantastic book covers the theory behind retrieval practice， how to implement in the classroom and includes fantastic editable resources。 It was already having an impact on my practice before I finished it。 Buy it。 Read it。 You won’t regret it！

A bit like being reminded that round is the best shape for a wheel， but the resources are clear and cover a fairly decent range of subjects rather than just being given one subject's view and told to adapt it。 A bit like being reminded that round is the best shape for a wheel， but the resources are clear and cover a fairly decent range of subjects rather than just being given one subject's view and told to adapt it。 。。。more

Aimed well at teachers looking for things they can do now to improve their use of retrieval in their teaching。 Summarises research from various sources for the teacher who might not have time to carry out all that academic reading themselves。 Very clear and points you in the direction of some excellent templates and resources that make starting improving this aspect of your teaching immediately。

Yet another excellent 20 page booklet hiding inside a larger 164 page book。 The enthusiasm， knowledge and principles of the writer - all praiseworthy and helpful in themselves - are drowned out by the lack of style， the fluffy structure and the 'stuffing'。 I'm sorry to sound so harsh when the author is not a professional writer nor even an English teacher。 John Catt Publications needs an editor。 Yet another excellent 20 page booklet hiding inside a larger 164 page book。 The enthusiasm， knowledge and principles of the writer - all praiseworthy and helpful in themselves - are drowned out by the lack of style， the fluffy structure and the 'stuffing'。 I'm sorry to sound so harsh when the author is not a professional writer nor even an English teacher。 John Catt Publications needs an editor。 。。。more

A great little book that sets out the science of retrieval practice and then gives loads of ideas for implementing them in the classroom。I am totally onboard with the idea of low effort for the teacher， high impact on the students - my previous attempts at retrieval practice had been so much work for me that I was spotty in using them。 Now I know I can do it regularly without needing to create vast resources。

A great book about cognitive science， memory and the research surrounding retrieval practice。 Brilliant examples of tasks， resources that incorporate retrieval practice and also links to other books， studies and even student youtubers to learn from and seek further information。 The ideas in this book also made me think more about the activities I plan for students and the amount of low-stakes testing I do in lessons。
