Brain Gym: Simple Activities for Whole Brain Learning

I wanted something simple, quick, and illustrated. I wanted something that I could put into practice the same day I got the book. This book was exactly that. I understand there are other books in the series that are much more detailed. I, on the other hand, already understand the theory - what I wanted was actual exercises. Within 24 hours of getting this book I was doing some of the routines with my child. I noticed a difference right away. To be honest, it is entirely possible some of it works because he believes it works - but understanding the theory behind it, I can see the process by which many the exercises produce the result. I would recommend this book as an introduction, or as a supplement to be shared with a child. I used it as both.

This is an amazing little book. It is small enough to be able to carry it around and so full of information for the dyslexic that one would want to keep it handy. Who knew that dyslexia could be so effectively treated by physical exercises that retrain the brain to be able to deal with tempero-spatial arrangements of anything one sees? Of course, each person is unique, and no one approach will work best for everyone. Nonetheless, this pair of educators, with extensive experience in teaching children (or adults) how to overcome some of the most embarrassing challenges in today's society, have written a book full of several exercises to do that. This is a gift for which they should be lauded and celebrated.

Brain Gym is a very good guide to help children and adults reduce stress, increase reading levels and make life more comfortable.

Came very quickly and in better condition than I expected!

The paperback was rather expensive for the size and the content.

Although this book could use updating , I purchased this book to replace the one I have had for years and was falling apart. The ideas and science behind them are solid, the activities totally work and I recommend both the book and the activities for everyone.

Need to clarify that this is geared for children

this is a simple to read book of brain exercises. I think it is maybe designed for children to read. I think it is ot obvious all of the extreme good this will do for "ordinary" people and people dealing with mental challenges. There is soooo much good to come from doing these exercises. It is very worth utilizing it.

I used the ideas in this book to improve children's behaviour and learning attitudes in a primary school very successfully. I am also using it myself as a stroke survivor helping with rhythm and coordination

Only 40 page book cost 3600 . Very bad,its cheating.don't buy this book.

So insightful, I bought these as I teach dance to young children and was interested in the interaction of physical movement with cognitive development. Ended up with some wonderfully additions to my daily routine, so useful when I know I’ll be stuck sitting down for much of the day.

Great little book. Easy to understand and well organized for quick reference to all Brain Gym activities.

This is a classic book that got educators to start thinking about how movement of the body may impact learning. Unfortunately, this book was written before the scientific community started to confirm the impact of exercise on the brain. Nevertheless, the authors had excellent intuition!
