FREE Experience Brain Training Event + Tips to "Avoid Summer Slide"

LearningRx would like to invite you to our free upcoming event ~ Experience Brain Training on Thursday, May 10, 2012 at 7:00 p.m.  This is a great chance to learn more about "brain training" and how training differs from tutoring.  If you know someone that struggles with memory, attention, logic and reasoning, reading or spelling ~ let them know about this free event.  "Experience Brain Training" will last approximately one hour and there will be an opportunity for all attendees to get hands-on experience with our unique procedures.   

In addition, we will be discussing how to help keep your child off of the Summer Slide.  To combat the slide, parents can strike a balance between learning and fun, infusing summer lessons with informality and grabbing opportunities to teach where they can find them. 

 Please RSVP to kennesawdfi@learningrx.net or 770-529-4800  

SUMMER SLIDE

Ways to Keep Your Kids' Brains Active All Summer Long! 

Our kids are soon going to be closing their books, putting down their pencils and adjusting their inner clocks to the unstructured hours of summer. While it's a necessary break from the routine of school, summer can also be a great time to find fun ways to keep kids from losing what they've learned.

Studies going back decades have documented a "summer slide" among kids who don't engage in enough mental work during summer vacation. Then, in the fall, teachers must spend weeks reviewing concepts students learned the previous year before moving on to the new grade's lessons.

Below are a few topics that will be discussed: 

• Tips on how to make summer learning fun.
• What are cognitive skills? 
• Which cognitive skills are used to retain knowledge over the summer?
