HOW WE HELP PARENTS
Accelerating Young Minds is designed to be used by children 4 to 10 years of age and for those older children who are not realizing their potential. The AYM groundwork is based on way the brain is attracted to and retains knowledge. AYM focuses on cognitive thinking development rather than simply asking a child to memorize academic facts. This is why AYM provides a much larger brain development subject matter, thousands of real world videos and photographs and oral explanations representing the real world. AYM focuses on real world imagery because such imagery is what will be retained into long term memory banks for thinking or learning.

HOW WE HELP STUDENTS
AYM programs target individual instruction for students who are struggling with particular topics, providing timely opportunities to assist student when needed most. This easily identifies individual students strengths and instruction interventions that can allow students to continue to progress without being left behind.

FOCUS ON VOCABULARY
Of the many compelling reasons for providing students with instruction to build vocabulary, none is more important than the contribution of vocabulary knowledge to reading comprehension. Indeed, one of the most enduring findings in reading research is the extent to which students’ vocabulary knowledge relates to the mind images created through cognitive learning and real world experience.  Without a personal vocabulary stored in the brain, children cannot and will not read to their needed ability.
