The Natural Path to Learning for Your Child - An Introduction by Peter Pierro

(Contd. from page 2...)

We, again fortunately, live in the same city as Reese and his Mom and Dad so we get to spend a lot of time with him. We will be sharing with you many of the living, learning experiences we enjoy in our relationship with Reese. In the meantime, we will be submitting articles taken from our book, The Natural Path to Learning.

By the way, we will be using a lot of critical thinking and creativity experiences which sadly have been disappearing from our school lessons -- it is almost impossible to write achievement test items that include this kind of right brain activity. So, if you want to raise your test scores stay with that left brain only memorization and fact recall. However, if you want to broaden and deepen the learning, let's get to the right brain stuff, too.

We'll have more commentary on testing in future articles.

The child thought for a moment, then said, "And how old would you be if you let go?"
