About the book...
Let me start out by saying the teacher in me just loved this book. I, as a teacher, would give my students these amazing brain exercises daily. What a fun way to get your students' brains awake and charged going off into their day.
Inside the book you will find 365 word puzzles and games that are both challenging and uber-enjoyable. Kids can learn about their language using acronyms, anagrams, definitions, parts of speech, rhyming words, syllables, word structure, etc. Puzzles abound with Alphabet Teasers, Mini Word Sudoku, Speed Words and Word Store games. Completing these puzzles will help your child increase his vocabulary, become a better speller, problem solve with ease, and be able to concentrate better.
There are ten levels of puzzles and although you can start anywhere you want it is always good to start at the very beginning and work your way through, as the exercises get more complicated as the book progresses. There are ten level of puzzles in all and the good news? (parents listen up) There are answers included at the end of the book. Hurray!!! Now you can breathe easier because its all been done for you.
Kids will learn that language, although sometimes challenging, will result in a love of all kinds of fabulous words. There are over 400 puzzles included and the graphics being so colourful and playful make the presentation very kid-friendly and inviting to youngsters.
"Research has shown that training games help improve memory, concentration, problem-solving skills, processing speed, creativity, and reasoning. Regularly doing series of short, varied tasks will keep your thinking faculties focused and flexible."
This is the second book in the 5 Minute Brain Workout series. This book will last your child a whole year. She can challenge herself, just enjoy the puzzle fun, or use as a competition against time or other people.
"These exercises work in many settings: home, work, schoolrooms, trying and therapy sessions, or as an icebreaker at social gatherings."
I was impressed with the format and highly recommend it. Both parent and child are in for a some brain-stretching and that is a good thing right?
