Learning letters is more than A-B-C. 🧠 Children must master colour → shape → size → position → number… before letters even make sense. The Basic Concepts Programme (BCP) scaffolds this journey, step by step, building memory, reasoning & literacy foundations. 📚#ThinkBCP

Every lesson is a series of cognitive decisions: What will students attend to? How will I manage working memory? How will they encode & retrieve? Here’s how I use Willingham’s Simple Memory Model as a “cognitive checklist” to guide each decision. 👇🔗
