This page is the parent page to a number of pages on how timely practice fits with well respected guidance on improving teaching, whereas the Research page is the parent page to research which tells teachers what the effects of doing particular activities are, but is less concerned about how the teacher might apply them in their teaching.

Make retrieval routine: timely practice's primary function
Deal with distractions: timely practice time allows each learner a quiet space and time to fully concentrate on their learning.
Consolidate the concepts: our more tightly spiralled curriculum makes learning easier, most topics are consolidated and added to several times a year and this also minimises the negative effects of absence from school.
Find time for feedback: timely practice’s secondary function
Champion the child: there is nothing more empowering than success, and success is so easier to achieve with timely practice. A great activity for learners to do, perhaps termly, is to look back at their timely practice assignments a term/year ago. Point out to learners, that it isn’t that a term/year ago the “work I had was so easy” but that they have made “great progress” in the past term/year.
