Imagine that we’re asked to retrieve a ball somewhere in the yard. We look under the bushes, behind the fence, near the trashcans—only we can’t find the ball. That’s because it never landed in the yard. But since we don’t know that, we keep searching and searching for something that just isn’t there.

Retrieving a word is no different. A word can be retrieved from long-term memory only if the brain has successfully registered and filed that word. Yet, most traditional spelling programs do not focus on the initial registering, encoding, and filing stages of memory.

But Brain Highways Spelling is different. Entertaining activities presented in the first four Spelling Stops of the program ensure that spelling words enter the brain through different sensory pathways. This sensory focus also includes the vestibular and proprioceptive systems—two important senses that are directly related to paying attention.

Learning to spell words via different sensory pathways may be essential if we have “static” in one or more of our sensory channels. If so—and information is only presented in the channel with static—then how will that information ever register correctly? And if the information never registers . . . then we’re back to searching for something that isn’t there. That’s why Brain Highways Spelling presents many opportunities to register spelling words in the brain—long before we’re asked to retrieve those words from long-term memory.

Yet, registering information is not enough. We also need to strengthen those memory traces and file words in ways that make retrieval easy. To do so, Brain Highways Spelling presents original, innovative activities that challenge both the left and right sides of the brain. With the right side of the brain actively involved, we open new, creative doors while learning to spell. Moreover, such activities now transfer words to the visual pathway so that retrieval is fast and easy when writing.

When we’re given the opportunity to participate in activities that reflect all stages of memory, learning becomes fun, easy, and successful. It truly is that simple.
