Visual Memory Fun

This engaging book offers preschoolers a fun way to develop visual memory skills through photocopiable puzzles, guided by Sue Whiting's expertise.

In Visual Memory Fun, renowned women's World Memory Champion Sue Whiting presents an engaging collection of visual memory puzzles tailored for preschoolers. With delightful illustrations by Deakin Brook, this book serves as a valuable resource for parents and educators aiming to enhance children's visual memory skills in a playful and enjoyable manner. The puzzles are designed to be photocopiable, making them suitable for both home and classroom settings, and are the result of a collaboration with the World Memory Sports Council to introduce an international memory competition for young learners.

The essence of Visual Memory Fun lies in its approach to learning. Whiting emphasizes the importance of making memory training fun and stress-free, ensuring that it is accessible to both children and their guides. With roots tracing back to Ancient Greece, visual memory has been recognized as a crucial skill, and recent neuroscience research underscores its significance in academic achievement. Whiting's personal experience, including setting a world record in memory disciplines, reinforces her belief that visual memory can be cultivated and improved.

The book is structured into four groups of photocopiable puzzles to be completed over four weeks, with each session designed to cater to the developmental needs of young children. The layout thoughtfully arranges similar puzzles together, acknowledging the challenges preschoolers face in task switching. By incorporating breaks and gradual progression, Visual Memory Fun aims to foster a strong foundation in visual memory, paving the way for future academic success and cognitive development.
