Apr 11 | Multisensory Approach to Learning
Kids take in information, store this information in the appropriate areas of the brain and retrieve the learned information much easier when whole body, multi-sensory techniques have been used. When learning math facts, spelling words, vocabulary terms, history facts and science formulas, encourage your child to get their hands and feet involved in the learning process. Give them a small trampoline, jump rope, do jumping jacks or just have them jump up and down while they memorize their work. It makes learning fun and will make those facts stick a lot faster.
