The Brain

I have just read an excellent book all about the brain and how it effects children's learning capabilities. It states that if their heart is not in it then they won't learn it so effectively. I can see that this is true. It also states that children learn better through sound, rhythm and song. The best idea so far to help children remember facts is by creating a neural net. You physically create a net and then make the objects and signs to go in it around your chosen subject matter. Start with the big section of writing and then choose the main theme within it and make that your starting point, then choose the ideas around it, it is similar to a spidergram but much more effective for children as it is visual.
