Buy the Book! "This book is essential reading for all classroom teachers and managers in primary schools. Based on the latest neuro-scientific research, it identifies the conditions and techniques that enable the young mind to learn most effectively and provides practical guidance on how teachers can facilitate optimal learning. It is the first book to present this material specifically for primary school teachers. As one teacher commented "it takes a lot of the guess work of achieving best practice".

Aimed at parents this book is a highly useful read for primary teachers. It explains why boys are different and behave differently and is packed full of practical advice on how we can teach boys to be happy, successful and kind.

These two fully illustrated books present a series of simple and enjoyable exercises children can perform to improve learning. Useful for all, but especially children with learning difficulties. The teacher's edition contains everything found in Brain Gym as well as in-depth explanation of the movements and whole brain learning.
