I have long had a rule that my students must "touch" our learning at least five times before their final exam.

- Learning Through Spatial Organization
Any good teacher will tell you that students learn best when connecting items together rather than when learning one after the other. Thus studying vocab words by themselves is less effective than using them (as do my 4th grade daughters) to tell...
