With Educational Games Part 2

Engaging in educational games to improve learning is a win-win situation because just the action of playing a game puts your body and mind into a more relaxed state. When you are in a relaxed state, it is easier to learn. Think about this, when you are scared or feel that something is hard, it is. Your mind usually becomes closed to the ideas. Your body tenses up. Sometimes your shoulders even rise. You become in a state of fight or flight rather than in a state of receptivity.
So, one of the best ways to improve learning skills is to do a learning activity that is fun and can be done in a relaxed environment. That is what playing educational games do.

How Do You Choose Educational Games?

When you are looking for educational games, think about the skill set you want to improve. For example if you want to improve sentence writing or grammar, you want to play educational games like The Sentence Zone. On the other hand, if you want to improve reading comprehension, the ability to comprehend and utilize the information you read, you will want a game that teaches you to find the main idea or details while you play. In this case you will want to play the educational games like The Comprehension Zone. Additionally, if your child needs extra practice with math calculation accuracy, The Math Zone is a perfect choice for you.

As you know, there are many educational games to choose from. Remember, you want to be sure the game is fun but will actually teach the skills your child needs extra practice with.

What Parents Have to Say About Educational Games, Specifically The Comprehension Zone

“I absolutely love games that teach. Game playing is more effective, in my opinion, as my kids tend to learn things they enjoy more quickly than things they dislike.” Lori S

“The Comprehension Zone holds the interest of my children. The long-term carry over is there. Every single solitary child improves his comprehension and his note taking and ability to condense things down into meaningful sentences. Every day we play The Comprehension Zone ends with fun and my children get to learn something without feeling like they are learning.” Marcia B

“The Comprehension Zone game has been an answer to prayer, a break-through for our child who has struggled with auditory comprehension for years. We began playing The Comprehension Zone often. The improvement was rapid and dramatic! By the end of the second time playing our child was able to play without my previous modifications and currently it is easy enough for him to pick out facts while listening and know he likes to try reading the card himself. We’ve tried things similar to this in the past, we’ve been focused on this problem for years, but The Comprehension Zone has been the first activity that has been successful.” Kimberly O

“The Comprehension Zone builds life-long skills for learning success. It carries over to all of their learning. I am so impressed. My children love playing and I love that they are learning at the same time!” Leslie K

“The Comprehension Zone game, it was fun playing but the results of playing were amazing. My son could finally pick out main ideas and details from what he read. He was excited because work that he struggled with was now easy. All from playing a game. Thanks Bonnie!” Karen M

With Educational Games Part 1

Often during the school year we are so busy with school and homework and sports that we don’t either have the time to play educational games or take the time to play educational games. In fact, game playing often doesn’t enter your mind because life is just too busy. But, now it’s summer. It’s breathing time. It’s time to take a break from the routine. It’s the perfect time to play educational games.

Benefits of Educational Games

When you play games with others you learn how to get along with others. When you play games with others you learn from watching others take their turns and they learn from you taking your turn. That is what is called reciprocal teaching and reciprocal learning.

Now, what if you were to play that were educational games that taught specific skills? You would get even more benefit from educational games. You would have the opportunity to have fun and improve your skills at the same time. Your reading comprehension would improve, your writing skills and English grammar skills would improve. Even your math skills would improve. And, you would have fun with others at the same time. When you play educational games you also build learning skills.

All Educational Games Are Not Created Equal

There are many choices you have when choosing educational games. There are several very important things to consider when purchasing an educational game:

1.      Is the game fun

2.      Does it have real learning involved?

3.      What do families that have played it say about it?

“I like that The Sentence Zone can be used with any English program and does not require special equipment or supplies. The Sentence Zone is a good one and could benefit many students.”  Tina R

“Our family loves The Sentence Zone. As we were putting the game away, my children began brainstorming ideas for fun variations of it. They want to play it again with the silliest sentence receiving bonus points. They’d like to do a round where you must only use the cards on top of the deck. Another idea was to try and create the saddest sentence. There are so many ways you be creative with this game and learn while having fun. It’s a simple game but I’m impressed with how well it worked with my family.”  Lori S

“The Sentence Zone game is a relaxed, fun loving game that the family can and will enjoy. It is slow paced, so everyone can truly think their way through each level and have the enjoyment of success! After all, that is what the game is all about!” Mary P

Long-Term Effects of ADHD Medication

Oftentimes when a child is diagnosed with ADHD doctors and parents alike are quick to prescribe  medication as a treatment. This is largely due to the fact that the effectiveness and safety of these medications are espoused by mental health professionals. Furthermore, medication is an easier and less time-consuming treatment than behavioral therapy or other forms of treatment for ADHD. However, as most parents who are making the treatment decisions for their children have not had the opportunity to attend Ph.D. programs in medicine, they are typically not versed enough in health care to know that there has been controversy about the long-term effects of ADHD medicine.

Most Common ADHD Medication

The most common ADHD medications children are prescribed are stimulant drugs, like Ritalin. Unfortunately, there are many different possible side effects that accompany ADHD stimulant medications, such as appetite suppression and erratic eating patterns, growth suppression, irritability when the medication is wearing off, headaches, stomach aches and facial tics. However for the most part ADHD medications are relatively safe; and if someone taking the drug does experience side effects from it, the dosage can be lowered or they can be prescribed a non-stimulant alternative.

It is generally agreed that ADHD drugs may help control symptoms and behavioral problems of some children with ADHD on a short-term basis. However as Eric J. Marsh and Russell A. Barkley point out in their book “Treatment of Childhood Disorders,” the long-term prognosis of individuals with ADHD who are treating their illness with medication is less clear. Similarly, it is also unknown what effect, if any, taking ADHD medications for extended period of time will have on a person’s health. What is known is that many patients eventually stop taking their medication after months or years of treatment. This could be due to unwanted side effects or the feeling that the medication is no longer helping to improve focus.

Ambiguous Nature of Long-term Effectiveness of ADHD Medication

Despite the seemingly ambiguous nature of the long-term effectiveness of ADHD medication, some mental health professionals argue that, on average, individuals receiving pharmaceutical treatment for ADHD do better than those without it. Yet there is one caveat: not all individuals respond to the ADHD medication that they are prescribed, and those who are good responders early on have a better long-term prognosis than those that have a hard time finding a medication that works for them.

Other mental health professionals question that point of view. A 2009 study showed that although ADHD medications were helping children with ADHD a year after therapy had begun, these same children were no different than the control group after eight years. Thus, the results of this study bring into question whether ADHD medications help on a long-term basis at all.

However one of the alternatives ADHD medication that has been proven to benefit children  on a long term basis is behavioral therapy. Likewise, certain lifestyle changes, such as eating a healthy diet low in sugar and processed foods, getting enough sleep and exercising can also have a positive effect on ADHD symptoms.

Clearly it is very big decision to start a pharmaceutical regiment to treat a child’s ADHD. As such it is important for parents to keep in mind that ADHD medication is not a cure for ADHD and it may not even be effective in some individuals, whether they take it on a short- or long-term basis. While ADHD medication does help control ADHD symptoms in some patients and improve disruptive behavior and lack of focus in school, it is certainly not the only treatment option and others, such as behavioral therapy, may be worth exploring.

Bonnie Terry’s Additional Comments on ADHD Medication…

Remember, sometimes children as well as adults that have been diagnosed with ADHD also have other learning issues that can be magnify their ADHD. These are learning problems related to auditory, visual, and tactile/kinesthetic processing. There are 9 different areas of vision, auditory, and tactile/kinesthetic processing that affect learning. Often when you address these processing areas the ADHD isn’t as problematic as it was to begin with. Again, you want to check out all avenues to make learning easier for your child. You don’t want to leave a stone unturned. Your child is priceless. To find out if there are other root causes interfering with your child’s learning, see our Learning Disability Screening Tool or give Bonnie Terry, M. Ed.,BCET a call for a 30 minute complimentary consultation (530) 888-7160.

Is It ADD or ADHD? Attention Deficit Disorder

The term ADD attention deficit disorder is a common one today as is ADHD. In fact it is so common because the incidence of attention deficit disorder in 2007 of 4 year- old’s to 17 year-old’s was 9.5%. That is almost 1 out of every 10 in a classroom.

As an adult it is rare that I am out socializing and another adult refers to their own ADD. This happens at the park, coffee shop, even on cruises.The actual term ADD is now considered the “old” term for Attention Deficit Disorder. It was generally used for those of us who have ADHD without the hyper activity component. ADHD was ADD with the hyper-activity. Nowadays the ‘proper term’ is ADHD with the specifics added. Remember, there are a variety of specific types of attention deficit problems. Each child will deal with the problems slightly differently because each child is unique.

The DSMIV Identifies and Defines ADHD

The DSM IV combined ADD and ADHD into one disorder with multiple parts. So now the proper terms are:

ADHD-HI (primarily hyperactive impulsive)
ADHD-I (primarily inattentive)
ADHD-C (combined)
ADHD-NOS (not otherwise specified) It is rare to be diagnosed with this type.

What Is Combined Type Attention Deficit Disorder?

A combined type of attention deficit disorder is someone who has all the diagnostic criteria for both the HI type and the I type.

The diagnostic criteria for HI type are very different than for I type. You can find the diagnostic criteria for each type by simply doing a google search for DSM IV and ADHD.

Important Points to Remember About ADHD

• Attention Deficit Disorder has been recognized as a disorder for over 150 years.
• ADHD has gone through over 50 name changes in those 150 years, some of those names were pretty nasty.
• It is likely that there will be more tweaking of the diagnosis when the next revised addition of the DSM IV comes out.
• This is due to the debate about the difference in people who are inattentive versus hyperactive.

Here are 9 of 18 common symptoms of Attention Deficit Disorder

• Not following through with instructions.
• Not paying attention appropriately to what they need to attend to.
• Seeming not to listen.
• Being disorganized.
• Having poor handwriting.
• Missing details.
• Appearing to be easily distracted.
• Appearing fidgety.
• Being verbally impulsive.

For more information on the common symptoms:

Common Symptoms of Attention Deficit Disorder

Diagnosis of Attention Deficit or Is It a Learning Problem or Is It Both?

One other important point that has to be made is that a diagnosis of attention deficit disorder is not the ‘end of the world.’ In fact, there are many successful business persons with attention deficit disorder, so your child does have a lot going for them. In fact, there is much you can do at home to help your child. Additionally, there are often other issues that may compound the difficulties of attention deficit such as problems in one or more areas of visual, auditory, or tactile/kinesthetic processing. And, sometimes a child is misdiagnosed due to problems in so many areas of perception. when one are is overwhelmed, it shuts down. This ‘shutting down’ can be mistaken for inattention. Identifying and addressing the underlying causes of any of those problems will make coping with any of the types of attention deficit easier.

Family Activities to Improve Learning Skills

Other things you can do to help your child is to incorporate learning games into their learning. This is because when your child is playing a learning game it is appropriate to move around while they are learning. They are also learning skills of getting along with others, cooperating with others while playing. Some great games that are very successful with ADHD children that teach learning skills at the same time are The Sentence Zone, The Comprehension Zone, and The Math Zone.

Summer has hit…Steps to take to

Improve Learning Skills Over the Summer

Here is a practical ‘down and dirty’ Action plan to Improve Learning Skills

1. Decompress, take a breather for a few days. Few is the key word here – take a few days to decompress and then you are re-invigorated to get going.

2. Go through your papers and books that you used this past school year. What areas were easy, what areas were hard?

3.  After sorting out the easy and hard, let’s start addressing the hard areas, the areas that were more difficult for you. There is an underlying root cause of the learning struggles. You may want to go through our informal comprehensive screening tool to identify the underlying causes of your child’s learning problems to see exactly why they have a hard time with reading, writing, spelling, study skills, or math.

4. Develop an action plan to address the root causes of your child’s struggles that will push them forward so that when school starts in the fall they will be ready. Remember, if your child struggles with learning or just takes too long to do their homework, there is a reason for it. Once you identify the underlying root cause of their learning struggle and address it, the ‘magic’ happens. Learning becomes easy.

5.  Your action plan should be simple, just take about 20 minutes a day so you actually do implement it. There is nothing worse than developing a plan of action to work on your child’s learning skills but then get overwhelmed by it. No one does well in a state of overwhelm. In fact, most often almost nothing gets accomplished when you are in a state of overwhelm. So, keep your plan simple but effective. This is one plan that has been extremely effective over the years for me.

• Put your summer learning skills plan into action – 20 minutes a day
• Day One: improving reading fluency in 5 minutes, improving spelling in 15 minutes
• Day Two: fluency in 5 minutes, reading a selection 5 minutes, note taking in 10 minutes.
• Rotate activities every other day.

6.  Play learning games to improve learning skills … have a game day or game night each week and play learning games

Improve Learning Skills: Summer organizational tips…

1. Store the best samples of your child’s work. I keep one box per child.

2. Then, just start throwing other things away.

3. Store what you want to save for use another year, and then make a pile of items that you can give away or sell.

4. Getting rid of all of the “stuff” just sitting around will help to eliminate visual clutter and may reveal some learning items that you had totally forgotten!

5. You CAN do it. Don’t keep putting it off. Even if you can’t get it all done in one day, you can still make some progress. It’s going to be worth it! And, you’ll have greater focus so you can improve learning skills in 20 minutes a day.

You CAN improve your child’s learning skills and still have fun.

Improve Your Child’s Learning Skills

Over the Summer

Even though the school year is winding down, as a parent you are thinking about how to improve your child’s learning skills. You know learning shouldn’t end with the end of school. Learning is something that continues throughout life. I know your children don’t want to hear that, but you know that is the reality. You have the opportunity to improve your learning skills throughout life.

My children were always excited when summer vacation started, but within a few days they were bored. I wanted to be sure that my children had fun, but also keep their learning skills up or even improve them over the summer. I found that if I set up a daily/weekly routine they actually improved their learning skills and blossomed.

There are 6 Steps to Take to Improve Your Child’s Learning Skills Over the Summer

1. Improve Learning Skills by a Trip to the Book Store or Library

   The day or day after your child gets out of school take a trip to your local library and check out a minimum of three books for each of   your children. When you check out three books they seem interested in, they will typically read at least one of them. You know as well as I do that when you bring a book home it isn’t always as good as you think it might be. So, with three to choose from you will have at least one that your child will read.

   
   

2. Improve Learning Skills by Setting Up a Daily Routine. Do this with your child’s input.

   Every morning after breakfast spend 15 minutes either reading or doing some math – get a reading & math workbook from Longs, Kmart, or Target. If they are behind in their reading skills, get workbooks that are from their current reading level, you want them to be stretched but not overwhelmed. Review the schedule once a week to be sure the schedule is working for you.

3. Improve Learning Skills with Reading Fluency Practice

   Fluency training is one of the most ignored reading skills and the easiest one for parents to do with their kids. Time involved is just 5 minutes per day, and you make great improvement even if you only do it twice a week. An easy program for this is Five Minutes to Better Reading Skills.

4. Improve Learning Skills with a Weekly Field Trip

   Good readers are people who know a bit about everything, so they have prior knowledge to connect to when they are reading. So, go on a weekly field trip, providing rich experiences for your kids. These trips can even be just a walk around the block or a trip to the grocery store, park, or mall.  
   The important thing to do after the trip is to take notes or write a summary of what you did. You can do this easily with Ten Minutes to Better Study Skills. Then, keep all of your notes or summaries in a notebook – the summer family trip notebook.

5. Improve Learning Skills by Reading a Book Together as a Family.

   Pick out funny books or mysteries and take turns reading. This can be done every night or just once or twice a week.

6. Improve Learning Skills by Playing Games With Your Child.

   Have a game day or game night once a week.

Dyscalculia or Math Disability -

Which Is It?

Dyscalculia may be a new word for many of you, it means math disability. Dyscalculia is to math what dyslexia is to reading. In other words, if you have difficulty with math you may have dyscalculia. That being said, it doesn’t actually get at why you are having problems or difficulty with math.

Just like dyslexia doesn’t tell you why you struggle with reading, dyscalculia doesn’t tell you why you struggle with math. It just says that you do struggle with math. So we need to dig a bit further to get at what specifically hinders or causes dyscalculia – a math disability. Math problems or dyscalculia are typically due to one or more underlying causes. (We are able to discern the underlying causes when going through the informal comprehensive assessment.) There are actually 3 roadblocks to math success.

Math Disability: The 3 Roadblocks to Math Success

• Memory Problems: Trouble remembering math facts and steps to solving problems
• Math Concepts: Cognitive Development Problems – Understanding the relationships
between numbers – How numbers grow and shrink with addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, math vocabulary
• Visual Spatial or Alignment Problems:
Trouble aligning numbers into columns for calculations, place value, or reading maps and graphs

Math Disability: The Underlying Causes

A math disability is typically due to one or more of these three problems. They have a variety of underlying causes.

Memory problems can be either visual memory or auditory memory problems.

Math concepts problems can be due to visualization difficulties, auditory language association or classification difficulties, or visual language association or classification difficulties. The language areas that I just spoke of (auditory and visual) are the areas of perception that refer to seeing relationships between concepts or words.

Visual Spatial or Alignment Problems are typically due to spatial difficulties, directionality, and contact difficulties.

There is a lot you can do as a parent to address these difficulties. In fact there are 3 specific solutions that will help address these difficulties.
Additionally, reading problems can also interfere in math because in math you do more than just solve calculations. You also have to solve word problems.

There are three solutions to a math disability or dyscalculia: the first is in the form of a math calculation game, the second is a math reference guide, and the third a special tool for math alignment and spatial problems.
