This is More Important than Any Homeschool Curriculum Choice
You start your school year with an exciting new homeschool curriculum, but it just doesn’t click. What are you going to do? Keep trying? Push through? Try something new?
The curriculum carousel is an exhausting ritual in many homeschool families. They try something and it doesn’t work, or it doesn’t work as well for one kid as it does for another, and they’re left wondering… is there really anything out there that will fit our family’s needs?
Instead of going around and around with endless trial and error, there is an important step that can help make any curriculum more effective for your family.
How Does Learning Happen?
No matter what curriculum you use, your child’s brain takes in information and processes it using cognitive skills. These are things like attention, memory, auditory processing, logic & reasoning, and processing speed that govern the way your brain interacts with the world around you.
Check out this short video to learn more about how learning happens with these cognitive skills:
If one or more of these skills are weak, the truth is your child will continue to struggle no matter how many different curricula you try. But on the flipside: once these skills are strengthened, your child’s brain will be primed for learning so any approach or curriculum you choose can work!
A Better Approach to Homeschool Curriculum Choice
Instead of shopping around for a curriculum to accommodate your child’s struggles, what if you could literally rewire their brain to make learning easier, no matter what you use?
This is the approach brain training takes. By targeting your child’s weak cognitive skills (identified through a quick assessment done in person or online), we can create a unique plan that will enable your child to:
- Learn more quickly, so you’re re-teaching less and making more progress
- Think faster and more efficiently
- Problem-solve effectively
- Read fluently
- Grow in skills like memory, reading comprehension, and logic
- Increase their own confidence to become a self-starter and self-advocate who can thrive in school and life beyond.
If you’re tired of trying the same thing over and over again and still not getting the same results…
Or if you have tried everything you can find to help your child learn to read, yet they continue to struggle…
Give us a call today. We’d love to talk about what you’re seeing at home and how those struggles translate into cognitive skills that can be strengthened through brain training!
A Note for People Starting Their Homeschool Journey
First off, we are so excited for you. Homeschooling is a unique opportunity to watch your child learn and grow first-hand. But we also acknowledge that this journey can be a hard one.
If you want to weed out potential problems before they start, understanding your child’s cognitive skill makeup now can save you years of struggle down the road.
Even if you choose not to complete a brain training program at this time, just completing the cognitive skills assessment is an invaluable tool in your toolbox to help you understand how your child’s brain works so you can make the best choices for their skills and abilities!
If you want to truly understand how your child learns best and what you can do to open the door to easier learning, better reading, and faster thinking, give us a call.
Our team would be happy to talk to you about your options and share about how brain training changes lives!
