Out Loud Word Study Proven Effective

A recent study in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, supported the idea that saying words aloud can help you remember them. So go ahead, encourage your students to study aloud, it will help them recall the information later.

Here is another article that suggests some memory techniques to improve students learning of new vocabulary.
