In the process of abacus classes activities, both hemispheres of the brain work simultaneously. Such activity stimulates harmonious intellectual development, improves memory, imagination and logical thinking.
Аbacus classes unfolds creative and analytical thinking, improves concentration, photographic memory, imagination, logical thinking, as well as observation and hearing skills. This isn’t just a mental calculation, because the ability to find answers to the most difficult tasks within seconds develops the right hemisphere of the brain, which is responsible for imagination and figurative thinking.
Аbacus classes activities help the child to master the school subjects better. First, the abilities related to memory, imagination, and thinking develop. Second, it helps to better understand the exact sciences: mathematics, geometry. And third, when your child learns to calculate quickly – they will know that they can learn everything, as long as they put in the effort!
As the reading speed increases, the child improves their performance at school in various subjects. During the lessons we practice reading techniques, phonemic hearing and spelling alertness, as well as semantic reading and comprehension of a text. In addition, it becomes easier for the child to absorb, process and store any information. This contributes to improvement of results in all school subjects.
Lessons are usually organized in a group of 4 to 10 children. Each course follows a common storyline. The teacher is fully engaged and emotionally presents the course material. The exercises alternate with interactive activities. Mobile activities and logic games are included.
Working at home is one of the main factors with impact on the outcome of classes. We recommend you to make sure that your child spends 15-20 minutes a day doing homework, abacus calculation (new topics) and mental calculation (passed topics).
To effectively master the program, the child should exercise at home for 15 minutes every day. For convenience in preparing and checking homework, we have developed an online platform for students and teachers. Using the online platform increases the speed and efficiency of learning by 40%.
As a result of speed reading classes, children improve their performance and self-esteem, become more observant and more attentive. Our task is not only to increase the speed of reading, but also to cultivate interest in this activity
The left hemisphere of the brain is responsible for the skills of calculation, speech and logic, and the right – for imagination and figurative thinking. A child whose cerebral hemispheres develop harmoniously can approach any task and problem from different angles, at an enviable speed.
