I. Arousal and sustaining of learners' attention. This may be attained by:
- Tonal variation and modulation of speech
- Spelling out and emphasizing the lesson objectives at the start of the lesson.
- Referring to learners by their names
- Using the right question technique and posing questions that the learners can answer

II. Use of part learning/chunking
Involves breaking down the material to be learnt into manageable portions, planning each portion according to sequence and linking the portions together as they are mastered.
III. Organization of material before presentation.
This is done by proper sequencing, noting key points, and using diagrams, maps and flow charts.
IV. Immediate testing the material
This increases learning and recall by encouraging learners to read over material that has been learnt
V. Reduction of memorization
Concepts learnt should be made clear in order to promote learner understanding and comprehension and minimize cramming.
VI. Preview and overview of lesson material.
Information taught at the beginning and end of a lesson stands higher chances of being retained than what is covered midway in the lesson.
