There are so many ways to take in and retain information. Using just reading, writing and regurgitating onto a test may be okay in the short term, but for long term mastery we need to engage all of a child’s learning capabilities. Most curriculums focus on reading, writing and math. Yet we can learn through:
- communicating with others
- pondering and meditating on information
- hands-on work
- creating music and art
- using logical and creative thinking skills
- observing the world around us
