Having the chance to hear instructions and/or lessons again helps students who struggle with processing and/or working memory. It allows a student who was away to catch up and for any student to double check that they are on track.
Make use of the camera on your phone or iPad to record yourself giving instructions. Make the video available to your students and anyone who needs to see/hear it again can do so.
Teachers can sometimes forget all the great points and references to good first teaching they might make while discussing an assignment in front of the class. Students are likely to forget even more often for a variety of reasons.
