The Importance of Review in Learning
1. Much of our learning is cumulative and connected.
2. Learning is built on prior knowledge.
3. Learning doesn’t happen overnight.
4. Review builds confidence.
5. Review gives learners a chance to apply their knowledge.
6. Review allows for independence.

Content: Review, when done well, gives the child a chance to take what he’s learned, make it his own, and apply it. A great way to do this is simply apply the knowledge to authentic situations that come up naturally in our day. It could even be done well with a worksheet. When we give our kids the chance to review and apply what they know, we are allowing the learning to take root and thrive. 6. Review allows for independence. When teaching multiple children, independent work is vitally important. You can’t introduce new concepts to everyone at the same time. The beauty of review is that students can do the work {wait for it} by themselves! With these six reasons alone, I remind myself once again that I need to make sure review is included in my teaching.
