The Learning Well Method Part 3

| Comments Off | Posted in Learning, Memory Mapping, Speaking, The Learning Well Method

Hi again,

You probably have read about the first two stages of The Learning Well Method of learning. We now have reached stage 3. If not we invite you to read our earlier two Blog entries before reading this one.

3) The third stage is – Do you know it?

We believe that the important thing when ‘testing’ is for your children to be able to express what they know.

The Memory Map can be used to test what your child or children know about the subject, as written down in their Memory Maps.

At the heart of this system, is creating the habit of expressing what your children know without a judgment about getting it wrong. There is no failure, there are only results. Instead of criticizing, the testing process is about gaining feedback and learning what can be improved on next time. How do you do this?

Hi, this is Tony and Alan again

We said that we would let you into the secret of The Learning Well method and so as promised here is the second stage of the method.

2) The second stage is – Action Steps

The Learning Well Method uses The Learning Well Memory Map system for its action steps to greatly improve learning in any area and provide a step-by-step guide for you to follow and help your children improve.

Using the Method little and often achieves outstanding results, so take action in little steps and do it frequently.

Here is an overview of the Memory Mapping skill using a completed Memory Map.

The Learning Well Method – Part 1

Hi, this is Tony Lazar and Alan McMahon

Thanks for all the great feedback on our articles and reports. Its fantastic to know that it has been of use to so many of you and of course your children.

We spoke to a London based Head Teacher yesterday who was looking for ways of motivating children to do more outside of the classroom to improve their literacy and learning. During the discussion she asked us to summarize The Learning Well four stage Method of learning for children.

Just what is the secret of the method that has a tremendous impact on children’s literacy and related subjects and is so really very easy to learn?

We told her the answer and would love you to have The Learning Well Method summary as well.

Why? Because you can easily use the method to massively improve your children’s abilities at school!

We will therefore summarize the method in this Blog and three further Blogs as the method is a four stage process.
So, here is the first part of the summary that we produced:

Motion creates Emotion and motivation for learning in Children greatly improving their ability in literacy

| Comments Off | Posted in Learning

All motion creates emotion and the focus of this article is to highlight this point and its relevance to your children learning and improving their literacy using various learning strategies that use movement.

Movement is such an important thing and we all know that children are at their happiest when able to move.

However, the logistics of teaching in school means they if they were moving around all the time it would be total chaos and there would be little or no improvement in their literacy.

But what about in the home?

When learning Multi-path methods are the best

How can you best learn? How can your children best learn?

The brain processes, stores and recalls learning and experience in the form of different visual imagery, sounds and feelings. Images can be large, small, bright, dim, colour, black and white.Sounds can be loud, quite, have a rhythm or be random. Feelings can be hot, cold, hard, soft, fast, and slow.

The ways of describing how the brain processes and recalls are of course far more than we have set out here and this multitude of possible descriptions is a powerful pointer to the best way for you to experience learning and for your brain to learn.

For many people who want to learn something the method they will use will be to read and re read a script until such time as they can “remember” it. Obviously this is making use of just one method available to the brain for learning and most people, including children, will recall only a small portion of what they have read in this way.

Is there a better way? Yes there is!
