Retrieval Practice

As part of the successful and popular Retrieval Practice collection by Kate Jones, this practical resource guide is the go-to guide for a wide range of retrieval practice tasks that teachers can use in their classrooms.

There are over fifty evidence-informed and creative, tried and tested, classroom resources and strategies to support retrieval practice. These include starter tasks, tasks to support literacy and revision as well as a range of recommended online quizzing tools.

For each resource, there is an explanation with top tips and visuals for easy implementation.

All of the resources provided aim to be low effort, high impact. Low effort for the teacher in terms of workload but high impact on student learning. Regardless of the subject or age range taught there are plenty of takeaways for every teacher – a handy retrieval resource guide for every teacher and every classroom.
