Brain Rooms

A brain can have one small room that is dim while other rooms glow. This means one kind of learning may be hard, but thinking and other skills can still be strong.

In the picture

  1. A dim room with a book: one skill is harder
  2. A bright room with a ball: moving and playing work well
  3. A bright room with an abacus: counting and math work well
  4. A bright room with lips: speaking and talking work well

Examples

  • A child may find reading hard but be great at math.
  • Another child may find numbers hard but tell stories easily.
