BT Guideinto the visual nature of right-brained students andenhance their retention of phonics sounds.• Vocabulary via visuals: Use pictures to build vocabulary.Children with a right-brain orientation learn to readthrough pictures. An excellent way to help them increasetheir vocabulary is to create word pictures in their minds.Some ideas include:• Using pictures of different vocabulary words(particularly items they care about) in notebooks,and put the name of each item beneath the picture• Labelling items around the house• Reading picture dictionaries• Drawing pictures for different vocabulary wordsMath Learning TipsMost standard math curricula today cater to the left-brainlearner – they are sequential, detailed, repetitive, and oftenpresented using plain or black and white text. Thus, it’s littlewonder why right-brain dominant children often strugglewith math. You can try the following suggestions, which areaimed at imaginative children who respond well to pictures,colours, and big-picture concepts.• Big picture learning: Teach math as whole conceptsinstead of individual processes. Repeating and reviewingmany math processes in each lesson is often ineffectivefor right-brained students as they tend to learnconceptually rather than in a linear sequence.• Use visual guides: Show how math problems are doneinstead of verbally explaining them. Children oftenrespond to visual learning when explanations are notclear to them. Use graphic pictures and diagrams toexplain math concepts. Draw diagrams as you teach andencourage the child to do the same.• Find patterns: Teach your child how to find patternsin math. You can use charts to show the relationshipbetween numbers.• Make math colourful: Right-brained learners lovecolours, so utilise different tones and hues to youradvantage. Instead of just writing numbers in black, youcan use colourful highlighters to indicate what is addedor subtracted.Using Both Sides of the BrainWhile it’s helpful to use an approach that addresses thedominant side of your child’s brain, you should neveroveremphasise either side. Always aim for balance byencouraging whole-brain learning. This way, they can learn toutilise both logical and creative thinking when they need toresolve a problem.In the case of a right-brained child, teach him logical andanalytical thinking skills. On the other hand, a left-brainedchild should start using images and visualisations for learningand cultivate creative hobbies like drawing or more activitiesthat use physical movements like dancing.16 BabyTalk | May 2022
