Handwriting for Fun
Visual learners can get so caught up in what they are writing that they miss some of the information coming at them while they are writing. But how can we get them accustomed to writing without making it a chore?
Activities
Back to School Handwriting
Its back to school time and the 7 Days to Better Handwriting mini course is a great way to get the kids back into writing practice.
Extracurricular Activities Are Beneficial
Both children and parents enter a new school year full of expectation and many of those expectations will be met and great successes will abound. But sadly, back to school can be a source of great frustration for our visual students. Sitting still and listening can be hard, especially for kids that need to see, touch and do in order to learn effectively.
Back to School Undrained
Many of the ideas that I have shared with you throughout our summer Brain Drain series are excellent tools for your visual learner to use throughout the school year to reinforce those new concepts that they will inevitably be learning, and possibly having difficulty grasping.
19 Easy and Educational Family Activities
The key to prevent summer learning loss for all kids, especially visual learners, is to make learning hands on, make it visual, add lots of art and time to create and above all – make it FUN. Summer is great for messy, creative and experimental activities because everything can be done outside!
Use the Wait to STOP Summer Brain Drain
From doctor’s appointments for school physicals, waiting in line at amusement parks or riding in the car on road trips, waiting is everywhere this summer. Why not use this time to prevent summer learning loss?
Handwriting Can STOP Summer Brain Drain
It’s common over the summer for the kids to lose some of those hard-earned handwriting skills that they practiced all year at school. With all the playing and creating, they may not get a lot of opportunities to physically write things down to stay in practice. We’ve made something great just for you. Well – for you and your young writer.
How to Draw… a Soldier
This Independence Day, encourage the knowledge of what this day signifies by having the kids sit down for a few minutes and draw this cartoon soldier.
Use STEAM to Prevent Summer Brain Drain
Recently there has a been a great push toward STEM; Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. These fields of study are crucial in today’s business world. But, we really need to add an “A” for art, to make it complete and really reap the benefits of the innovation and creativity that being involved in the arts can produce.
STOP Summer Brain Drain with Our Activity Sheets
In school, visual learners experience more sitting still, left brain, language oriented learning and much less hands on learning. Summer is a great time to use alternative activities to keep it fun and light while maintaining the learning.
