Hello to all, and thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience; I want to add 3 resources that I found very useful when helping my daughter to develop a great memory; the first one is the silly stories from this software
http://www.acceleratedchild.com great material plus have many categories flash cards, and follow the dot sections- the 3 componenets are great to enhance the memory in the "Right Brain" way. the second tool I use and like very much as well is
http://www.rightbrainkids.com/jv/hop/?af=836489 which also have several products tailored specially for memory enhancement again the Right Brain way and lastly I agree with people at the forum Mind maps are useful - too early for my daughter though- but is a great concept to have in mind since they will grow so quickly and will be able to use this skill. Tony Buzan is the creator and main writer about mind maps and he wrote this book which can be found in amazon Mind Maps for Kids: Max Your Memory and Concentration (Paperback) by Tony Buzan (Author)
The silly stories or memory linking method is fantastic, they link all the items using silly stories and as they laugh and keep reading - they keep making the connections without even realizing what they do; my daughter has already memorized this way over 100 stories, perfect order and to the dot.
It really is a powerful tool used by Schichida, Right Brain and Buzan ( also if you are interested this book: Make the most of your mind-Tony Buzan great resource for adults and memory)
Hope this helps.
Everyone have a great week
Gloria
