When people of all ages can look, listen, and move easily and without stress, they are curious to use their senses to interact with the world around them. This is quite different from learning that inhibits the sensory modalities through tension and strain. One Edu-K premise is the inherent pleasure of the learning experience: that of using the hands, senses, and whole body to explore new ideas.
The original movements are now the 26 Brain Gym® activities (called “the 26” for short) – part of the broad Brain Gym curriculum for self-initiated learning. Dennison, he developed a field of learning known as Educational Kinesiology (Edu-K). He created a technique (Dennison Laterality Repatterning) to make these movements even more universally effective. He anticipated our modern understanding of the brain by demonstrating how specific movements for eye-teaming, hand-eye coordination, and whole-body awareness bring swift improvements in reading, writing, understanding, and comprehension in students of all ages. Dennison began to explain learning as incremental changes in attention behavior and function. Starting in the 1970s, educator and reading specialist Dr.
In the field of neurosciences, leading thinkers like Doidge, Amen, Perry, Ratey, and Medina describe how movement stimulates the brain’s lifelong growth and plasticity. With all the new research into the correlation between brain function and movement, it is clear to see why these movements have worked so well, they often bring about dramatic improvements in areas such as:Īcademics: reading, writing, math, test taking Dennison who say that the interdependence of movement, cognition, and applied learning is the basis of their work.Ĭlients, teachers, and students have been reporting for over 30 years on the effectiveness of these simple activities. Dennison and his wife and colleague, Gail E. The twenty-six activities, along with a program for “learning through movement” were developed by educator and reading specialist Dr. These activities recall the movements naturally done during the first years of life when learning to coordinate the eyes, ears, hands, and whole body.
