Horse and buggy learning isn't going to cut it on the superhighways of the next millennium. Children are the real 21st century citizens among us. They most need to learn how to learn. They need to be equipped with techniques to help them navigate a fast shifting world and job market. They need the know-how to tackle new things with confidence. Most of all they need that spark of joy that makes lifelong learning an adventure.
Superlearning/accelerated learning has been working wonders with kids for two decades. When teacher Charles Gritton first tried the system in a Des Moines ghetto school, failing kids learned they weren't failures after all. Suddenly math made sense and tests were passed with ease. Attendance soared, trouble makers sent to the hall pressed their ears to the door not to miss anything.
Dr. Rosella Wallace introduced Superlearning with its special music, rhythmic presentation, guided imagery and relaxation ploys to her third graders in Anchor Point, Alaska. "I saw a tremendous improvement in my class," Wallace says, "in development of thought, concentration, and memory." At year end, her kids scored in the 94 percentile on the standard spelling exam, highest in the school. Parents noticed they had better behaved, more focused kids and asked Wallace to teach them how to relax and concentrate too.
In Atlanta, Dr. Allyn Prichard took on a class of kids who just couldn't read, kids about to end up on society's discard heap. "With this new way of learning, you'll be able to read," he told his doubting students." "You'll be learning to use your imagination just the way the Brave and Dolphins do in mental sports training. Prichard's startled students picked up a years worth of reading in twelve weeks. This four times speed-up held steady for classes over ten years.
These are just three of hundreds of documented success stories of Superlearning in grammar and high school. There are even more "undocumented" accounts by parents and grandparents helping their own kids with at least some of the Superlearning ideas. Most used is the special Superlearning Music. Step by step instructions, exercises for children and resources are in both Superlearning and Superlearning 2000.
