Do read this timely blog from WHSmith about the useful application of colour-coding to pupils’ revision techniques. Keep an ear open for the fact that ultimately they’re trying to sell stationery though! 😉

When it comes to revision, children use techniques and methods they feel work best for them, whether it’s creating rhymes to remember equations, sticking notes on their bedroom walls, or getting their parents to quiz them after they’ve learned a topic or two. And when it comes to actually creating revision notes, all kids love reaching for their highlighters, gel pens and post-it notes to add a splash of colour to their work.
