Does your child forget new vocabulary words within a week?

The Feynman Technique isn’t just for math. It works brilliantly for vocabulary — explain a word simply, and it sticks.

Here’s the promise: You’ll learn how teaching others locks in new words.

🧩 Why Explaining Words Works

Rote memorisation of definitions is shallow. Explaining forces you to connect the word to examples, synonyms, and personal stories. This creates multiple memory pathways.

🎯 How to Apply Feynman to Vocabulary

Pick a new word: From school or reading. Explain without the dictionary: “What does this word mean, in your own words?” Use an example sentence: “Can you put it in a sentence?” Teach someone else: Child explains to parent or sibling. Review gaps: If explanation was weak, check the dictionary together.

💡 A Parent’s Success

“My daughter used to forget vocabulary by test day. Now she explains new words to her teddy bear every evening. Her spelling and meaning retention have improved dramatically.”

You might wonder, “Does this work for older children?” Yes — teens benefit even more because they can handle complex explanations.
