Fun Brain Learning

Every preschooler is unique and if they are guided or shown preschoolers activities that are easy for their brain to do, then they are most likely a good match to help them attain a higher level of outstanding competence.

The first step in the matching process is to identify their learning styles which can be categorised into:

1. The Follower
   Preschoolers falling under this category love routines, orderly and are thus very predictable and are self-organized.
2. The Dramatic
   These preschoolers love to give, placing other people’s needs first over their own and are usually very sentimental.
3. The Inventor
   Being imaginative their main trait, they abhor daily routines and repetitive tasks and are usually high spirited and love to reinvent the wheel.
4. The Thinker
   Preschoolers falling under this category like to be in charge and maintain order by delegating and in control by making the decisions.

Learning styles can overlap but observe which learning style is more dominant in your preschoolers.

The Follower

They excel in preschoolers activities which require using fine motor activities as they are very precise in coloring inside the lines, cutting along the lines but do not rush them as they are cautious and careful in what they are doing. They are best when the activities have step-by-step and how-to instructions and they may need a bit of coaxing before they are willing to try anything new. Explain to them what is to be expected from them and you can then leave them alone as they will know what to do and will complete them in time and exactly what is required of them.

The Dramatic

Preschoolers falling under this category are rather dramatic as they are very expressive and emotional children. Preschoolers activities which are a match for them are those which have finger plays, pretend plays and storytelling as all these activities help them to connect with people and an opportunity to express themselves.

 The Inventor

Preschoolers of this style find repetitive routines boring and stifling. They are imaginative and innovative and brain boosting preschoolers activities like puzzles, quiz, and mazes will definitely intrigued them. Challenge them to invent new games from old, for example the traditional game hopscotch as they are great at creating and imagining new and exciting games to play.

The Thinker

These preschoolers excel in mathematical preschoolers activities as they can think logically, accurately, analytically and decisively. Jigsaw puzzles are also great for them as they like to take things apart and put them back again.

When you understand and recognize your preschoolers learning style, communicating and nurturing them will be more pleasurable and enjoyable. Focus on their strengths and abilities and help them to become the masters of their own thinking.

You can find many preschool books in the market but to find one which not only keeps your children happy and busy but at the same time nurture their development in terms of their motor, cognitive and creative skills is not an easy task.

I would like to share with you a series of new and innovative preschool books which do more than developing the children intellectual gifts but realizes the importance of the element of fun and has creatively woven humor into their games.

“Mind Power Series” has been inspired by parents who are concerned and worried that they are not providing appropriate, adequate and suitable learning materials for their children during this vital developmental growth.

“Mind Power Series” has been created from a burning desire to help and guide these parents with powerful knowledge on how to nurture their children to unlock their individual gifts, creativity, thinking and learning skills.

“Mind Power Series” has three preschool books titled “Brain Power is Fun”, “English Power is Fun” and “Math Power is Fun”.

“Brain Power is Fun” is packed with 120 fun and challenging activities which train the children’s ability to think and find the solutions themselves independently and when they are lost in the process, parents will be guided on how to teach effectively by asking appropriate questions using very simple and effective techniques to lead the children to the solutions. These activities range from puzzles, mazes, riddles to number and code-cracking games specially designed to develop the children’s ability and growth of skills to think and develop their natural creativity and curiosity.

“English Power is Fun” has 127 activities using poetry, finger plays, nursery rhymes, riddles, tongue twisters, jokes and storytelling to cultivate the children love for language. Nursery rhymes are fun and enrich a child’s vocabulary through their short, simple texts. Rhymes stay with us throughout our lives as they are passed from one generation to another and they have a musical quality incorporating language rhythm, patterns and rhymes in every verse which fascinates children to develop their language. Language is perceived to be logical and orderly and sentences do not usually rhyme but when rhymes are used to teach literacy to children, they find them hilarious and funny.

“Math Power is Fun” has 121 activities to build the essential knowledge of basic mathematical concepts. Most of the math preschool books in the market only teach basic arithmetic concepts but in this Math Series, rigid and difficult mathematical concepts are taught by creatively disguising them as play games which the children will enjoy. They will be introduced to the following concepts -

• classifying -the ability to group like objects based on their characteristics
• seriation – the ability to sort objects in a logical series according to size, shape or characteristic
• numbers – learning about quantity, amount, addition and subtraction
• symbols -learning how to us symbols to solve a problem
• spatial relationships – children with well developed spatial skills are very creative, dramatic, artistic an musical
• time – understanding time which can be a Herculean task for some children
  reversibility – the ability to understand that numbers can be changed, then returned to their original state such as 2+4=6 and 6-4=2
• de-centering – the ability to find a solution to a problem

All of the activities are in black and white which is great as they can be used as coloring books for the children. Children love to color. Coloring encourages children to plan, make decisions on what colors to use and stimulates their creative skills by thinking how best to make their pictures beautiful with colors.

“Mind Power Series” is one of the preschool books I would recommend every child to have as all of the activities encourage fun and at the same time teach them essential developmental concepts. The only setback of these books is that they should create more activities than what they already have to continuously stretch their imagination, think outside the box and training them to solve problems in different ways. Well, maybe they will follow-up with another edition, which I hope will be soon.
