Follow on Google News | BrainWare SAFARI and SKO Learning Team on Cognitively Based Reading ProgramsThe partnership between BrainWare SAFARI and SKO Learning recognizes the common foundation for the companies’ programs –neuroscience principles combined with digital game-based learning to develop students’ cognitive processes and accelerate academic progress. Brain research has shown that cognitive processes, such as sustained and selective attention, simultaneous and sequential processing, processing speed, working memory, visualization, and executive function are essential in learning to read or understand math. These types of cognitive processes can be developed, leading to improved performance in academics and everyday life activities. “SkateKids and Ramps to Reading incorporate the same key ingredients that have made BrainWare SAFARI so successful,” BrainWare SAFARI will introduce SkateKids and Ramps to Reading in a webinar on Monday, June 3, 2013.
