The Learning Well Method Part 2
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 MEMORY MAP that you can see here represents a landscape A4 sheet of paper. Though this one is created using images downloaded from the net and words that are typed, you and your children can produce them using just pens and pencils and draw and write freehand.
In the middle, put the central word, words, idea, or topic on the subject that interests your child. Surrounding the central word are placed 6 other words, ideas or topics, including little drawings, with lines joining these new words to the central one.
No more than 6 words or ideas linked to the idea in the middle.
2 or 3 more words can be linked to each of the 6 words surrounding the central one.
This gives you a framework and structure for creative expression which is brilliant for memorizing and brilliant for seeing how ideas link together and is also ideal for testing.
The subject of this particular Memory Map shows you how to memory map, but it could be about any subject or topic that your children need to learn for school or a subject that they are interested in. At this stage please don’t worry what the particular words and pictures mean in this particular Memory Map. Remember this Map is focused on explaining how to do a memory map.
You will eventually learn how to do mapping and your children will greatly improve their abilities using them. It really is very simple.
Part 3 of The Learning Well Method will be found in our next Blog entry. See you there!
