Here at Little Lever School, we think it is really important that students know what the essential knowledge is for each subject that they study. Learning takes place not only in the classroom, but in all areas of the school building, and at home.
We use Need To Know knowledge retrieval books which contain all the essential knowledge students will need to help revise and make progress towards achieving their best in all of their subjects.
By using knowledge retrieval sheets in the Need To Know book, students will be able to transfer their knowledge from their short-term memory, and make it stick. Within all their lessons, students are asked to retrieve knowledge from their long-term memory. This might be in the form of quizzes or longer responses. These might require lots of information students have already stored from previous lessons and from their own life experiences.
These Need To Know ‘books’ help students to check how much they can remember.
