Check understanding

• Before starting a task, name the strategy they plan to use and explain why — e.g. 'I'll make a mind map first because there's a lot to organise'
• After finishing, honestly evaluate whether their chosen strategy helped or whether a different one would have been better
• Describe at least three different learning strategies and explain when each works best

“Does your child ever talk about *how* they're going to study or practise something — and afterwards think about whether that approach worked?”
