PREPARING CHILDREN FOR SUCCESS
SPECIAL EDUCATION
Accelerating Young Minds offers an alternative learning and assessment environment for children who do well and for those who may not do well with traditional schooling. Repeated practice of the weak skills, using AYM, strengthens these skills. If cognitive weakness is the root of a student’s learning or reading struggles, then cognitive testing and training is clearly the most promising approach to provide both immediate and long-term answers. AYM is specifically designed to overcome barriers and unlock potential in children with special needs.
ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS
Accelerating Young Minds is extremely valuable for ELL students because we provide non-linguistic cues in our learning activities. We can be a part of a teacher’s instructional scaffolding. Our activities enhance a large background knowledge, and with 12,000 vocabulary words, we improve and expand vocabulary development and reading comprehension.
ELEMENTARY
Accelerating Young Minds helps your student have continual success in school by developing critical and creative thinking skills and enhancing his/her knowledge in required academics: language, math, history, and science as well as affective domain and cognitive thinking. AYM is also academically aligned to core standards and cultivates self-efficacy.
KICKSTART
Accelerating Young Minds prepares your child for Kindergarten with 50+ individual learning activities in the areas of language, math, science, history, attitudes, affective domain, creative, critical, and cognitive thinking. AYM is also academically aligned to core standards and cultivates self-efficacy.
Cognitive Development
Cognitive development is the construction of thought processes, including remembering, problem-solving, and decision making, from childhood through adolescence to adulthood. In AYM, there are components of cognitive development skills included in each of the over 300 AYM learning activities.
Creative Thinking
Creative development is one of the most important areas of focus for AYM. Creativity is a collection of thinking patterns that lead to a compilation of creative abilities. AYM’s learning activities are built from the students’ minds--their ideas, what they are curious about, things they imagine, their reasoning, originality, humor and intrinsic motivation.
Critical Thinking
With AYM, a student’s brain will be trained in critical thinking, which is one of the most important skills anyone can possess. The AYM critical thinking learning activities are designed to accommodate a hierarchy of learning development. This ensures patterns of self-guided, self-disciplined thinking which attempts to reason at the highest level of quality in a fair-minded way.

Standards
Accelerating Young Mind’s subject material is diligently aligned to the required state Standards, including Common Core Standards. These standards influence the content of our academic activities to help ensure students can achieve success in these important guidelines for Elementary school and beyond.
Academics
Accelerating Young Minds includes all required academics by grade level. The method in which AYM presents these academic skills is where we are truly unique. We offer real-world images, video, and typical teaching methods that accelerate learning in fun ways.
Self-Efficacy
Self-efficacy is a personal belief in one’s capability to organize and execute courses of action to accomplish a specific task. Often described as task-specific self-confidence, self-efficacy is a key component in theories of motivation and learning in varied contexts. Accelerating Young Minds cultivates Self-Efficacy by fostering and encouraging a child’s belief in his or her ability to complete a task and solve a problem by offering a broader base of knowledge through a superior delivery system.

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT AYM
"My 4 year old twins are LOVING this program! They each have their own accounts and go at their own speed, (of course comparing/competing with each other along the way!) and have learned so much. They sure surprise me with their level of attention, patience and perseverance while going through the steps. They love getting the award medals after completing a section, and I love seeing their high scores! They used to watch whatever "games or cartoons" were on their kindles, now they ask to play their learning game, as they call it. Happy parents over here!! I highly recommend it for preschool age children!!"
Heidi M., Kirkland, WA, Mother of boy & girl 4 year old twins
"My son had overwhelming anxiety about going to preschool. This program helps me to ensure that he is learning at grade level so that he won’t fall behind.
