Left Brain Workout:
By showing flashcards to your children one by one, it is similar to pointing to your head and then telling your child what that is. The logical left brain learns and retains through this repetition and memorisation.
The 20-Day Left Brain Program allows your child to be exposed to a variety of subjects at a controlled speed of about 2 seconds per flashcard in auto-pilot mode. You dont have to worry about timing or repeating cards, you sit beside your child and participate, or leave them to enjoy, depending on the session. Through multi-sensory stimulation, children pick up images and shape of the words while the audio reinforces what the word and object mean. We recommend you as parents (or carers) repeat the words out loud, after each word is read from the DVD. This will encourage your child to learn the words with you. Sound effects are also incorporated in some flashcards to help maintain your child’s interest during the shows.

Right Brain Workout:
The 20-Day Right Brain program shows at about 1 second per flashcard, and have an intentionally fast voice-over. The effect is similar to watching fast moving images on television which you can see captures your child’s interest (but without the benefits!).
The fast-moving flashcards grab and focus your child’s attention, and stimulate their right brain to pick up the images. They are not meant to memorise the flashcards this way, so it is not advisable to repeat the same show twice in a row.
While you may not see how your children can pick up the fast images, scientists have proven that the brain picks up images, even though the eyes may not register them. Similarly, the fast “chipmunk” voice may seem impossible to comprehend, but this form of stimulation aims to “open up” the right brain. It uses the brain’s neural connections, visual and audible pathways to process the images and voice-over. Once the brain is stimulated, left brain learning becomes effortless. Thus, the right brain complements the left brain in learning when brain circuits are stimulated and connections are formed.
