Teach Children To Draw Diagrams To Learn Things

There are several study techniques that children need to learn to get good grades. In this article, we will explain how to use charts to learn things.

Diagrams or drawings are a good way to summarize information to better remember concepts and facts. It is a good idea to teach this to children at an early age so that they can learn to study effectively.

In addition to learning to draw diagrams, there are a total of five other study techniques:

• Reading comprehension
• Underline sentences
• Summarize materials
• Memorize
• Self-test

Teach your children to draw diagrams

When you need to summarize information, you must be able to organize or compile that information in such a way that you can change the content so that it becomes easier to assimilate and memorize. This is where diagrams or drawings become very useful.

Diagrams clearly represent the main ideas and the supporting ideas in a given text. The big advantage they have, compared to other summary techniques, is that they display relevant information quickly.

There are different types of charts, depending on the type of teaching material:

• Comparative charts: These are used to compare properties and observe information quickly.
• Hierarchical diagrams: These organize and classify the ideas in one text and integrate some of the concepts in other texts.
• Sequence-specific diagrams: These can be used when you need to organize the information in turn, based on various factors (time, method changes, changes in properties, etc.).

It is important that our children learn to use diagrams when they study. But to learn it, it is not enough just to know it in theory. It also requires a lot of practice.

Therefore, make sure to be with your children while they do their homework. Then you can help them create their first charts, and after a while they will be able to make them on their own.

How to create a good chart

To create a good chart, you must follow several steps:

• First read the text carefully
• Then choose and emphasize the main ideas and the most important supporting ideas
• Think of a title that summarizes the text
• Then choose the type of chart you want to make
• Divide the text into larger sections and subsections

• Finally, group each idea or fact into a section and express it briefly and concisely

Diagrams or drawings should also have the following properties:

• You should include all the main ideas in the chart
• You should mark and clearly link the main ideas in the text
• It must follow a logical structure, with organized primary and secondary ideas
• The presentation must be clear so that the content can be understood quickly
• It must be written with short and direct keywords or phrases, never long sentences

By following these tips, your children can learn to develop meaningful charts that will help them improve their performance in school. They can more easily get an overview of a topic and how different parts fit together.

All this helps them to easily acquire, assimilate, understand and remember information. It takes time and effort, but it’s really worth it!
