Students Benefit from the Simple Solutions Method
For decades, the Simple Solutions approach has been setting students up for success. All our resources use three research-based and proven strategies—retrieval practice, spacing, and interleaving—to facilitate a deeper understanding of concepts.
Retrieval Practice
Our reading comprehension books are specially designed to encourage students to continuously retrieve information from their memory. This repeated mental effort strengthens their neural pathways and makes it easier to recall information in the future.
Spacing
The lessons in our books spread retrieval practice out over time. This method allows information to reach students’ long-term memory, facilitating a deeper understanding of the concepts.
Interleaving
Our materials take a different approach than the traditional massed (blocked) practice. Instead of focusing on one concept at a time, all our lessons revisit material that’s already been taught, and students have to decide which strategy they’ll use to solve each question.
