Brain Highways Spelling
The Brain Highways Spelling e-book was developed for kids who like to move, laugh, and create while learning. It can be used with any spelling list, either at home or at school.
Learning to spell words via different sensory pathways may be essential for kids who have “static” in one or more sensory channels. If such children’s brains never register how to spell a word, then they have no chance of ever retrieving it from long-term memory. It’s like searching for a ball under the bushes, behind the fence, in the street—when there never was a ball to be found in the first place.
With the Brain Highways curriculum, kids register spelling words as they simultaneously engage in vestibular, proprioceptive, tactile, midline-crossing, and bilateral coordination activities offered at different “Spelling Stops.” After participating in those spelling stations, kids move on to the Long Term Memory Stop. Here, they engage in activities that integrate right and left brain integration in order to strengthen memory traces of the newly registered word. Combining multisensory activities to register the word with higher level thinking skills to store such words makes it easy to learn to spell.
The Brain Highways Spelling curriculum also provides a “self-tutorial” on the right margins of each activity. The Brain Enhancement sections in these margins note what sensory system or brain-processing skill is being strengthened with that activity. The How and Why sections explain why kids are so easily able to learn with that activity’s specific approach.
While this e-book focuses on spelling, the activities are easily adaptable to register and store information for other areas of the curriculum, as well.
