Dr Tracy Alloway has been awarded the prestigious Joseph Lister Award from the British Science Association ' The authors have written a guide for practitioners that is both highly practical & yet based upon sound theoretical principles This book achieves a successful yet often elusive link between theory research & practice & deserves to have a high readership I will have no hesitation in recommending it to a range of readers'
- Jane Mott Support for Learning' This book fulfils its aim to explain working memory & the limits it places on children's classroom learning For teachers it gives a very clear guide & fills a gap in understanding that can only lead to more child-centred approaches to teaching & learning'

- SNIPThe topic of working memory nowadays tends to dominate discussions with teachers & parents & both groups can helpfully be directed to this easy-to-read but serious text (it) is likely to prove a turning-point in the management & facilitation of hard-to-teach children In a situation muddied by ever-multiplying syndromes & disorders this book delivers a clarifying & reassuring isolation of the major cognitive characteristic that cuts across all the boundaries & leaves the class teacher & SENCO empowered I think very highly of the book & shall be recommending it steadily'
- Martin Turner Child Center for Evaluation & Teaching Kuwait Susan Gathercole is winner of the British Psychological Society's President's Award for 2007A good working memory is crucial to becoming a successful learner yet there is very little material available in an easy-to-use format that explains the concept & offers practitioners ways to support children with poor working memory in the classroom This book provides a coherent overview of the role played by working memory in learning during the school years & uses theory to inform good practice Topics covered include- the link between working memory skills & key areas of learning (such as literacy & numeracy)- the relationship between working memory & children with developmental disorders
- assessment of children for working memory deficits
- strategies for supporting working memory in under-performing children This accessible guide will help SENCOs teachers teaching assistants speech & language therapists & educational psychologists to understand & address working memory in their setting
