The Single Most-Effective Child Learning Activity
What is the best child learning activity you can think of?
But there is one catch... this child learning activity must
do all of this: quick and easy to do, cheap, able to occupy
children for a reasonable time AND must definitely help to
improve reading and learning skills, concentration, general
knowledge, observation, ability to seek information and
focus on detail.
You won't find many activities that can do
this.
Surprisingly enough... there IS one!
I call this the...
Amazing Newspaper Activity
Here's how easy it is:
1. Find a newspaper and give it to your child. It doesn't
have to be a recent one.
2. Now, here's the real learning step. Ask
your child the following about the newspaper
What is the main headline?
How many pages in the paper?
Name all the colours on (say) page 3
On page 3, write down 5 words starting with a "d"
Copy any ad
Write down the names and surnames of any 3 people
mentioned in the paper
On what page is (say) the weather summary?
Any effective learning activity should teach kids a number
of learning skills.
Not only does this learning activity do this, but it also uses the
skills to copy a true learning situation.
Most important of all, regardless of how easy this activity may seem, you'll be pleasantly surprized by the
terrific results it gets.
