Programs for Students
Secrets of a Super Memory: Beginner series (Parent/Child)
This class adds the fourth R to Readin', 'Ritin', and 'Rithmatic. The fourth R is Remembering. A big chunk of your child’s academic success is based on remembering. From kindergarten to college, tests measure memory. This is a class in "memory literacy"–a universally beneficial skill. Skills are taught with an emphasis on academic subjects: reading comprehension, social studies, foreign language, spelling, science, and geography. Using the techniques learned in this class, students have:
- Memorized all 50 states and their capitals in under two hours
- Learned 100 foreign language words in a weekend
- Met 10 people at a virtual party and greeted those people a year later by name
- Listed the 43 presidents of the United States in order after an hour of study
- Been able to recite and explain the 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution after one hour of study
Secrets of a Super Memory
is interactive. There are a lot of games. Walk in on a program and you
might see students using the memory skills employed by the Guinness Book
record holder for learning foreign languages in a game called “snap.”
Later you will see students physically acting out a story with a
surprise memory ending. Watch as kids discover one of the secrets of
super-spellers. At some point people may be juggling or playing memory
games that cover constitutional amendments, geology, human anatomy, or
botany. A number of the techniques used in this course come from Jim's
book, Memory Smart.
Class Schedule:
This is a four part class, two hours per class.
