pattern, song and rhyme.

Physical involvement: “whole person

learning”.

Learning as a Holistic process/

Long-term memory storage

Learning is not only in the brain, but in the whole body. Children learn through all their senses.

English series for children should contain activities which involve music, language, movement, logic, interpersonal work and spatial relations.

Children learn more effectively when they are respected as individuals.

story
