Naperville LearningRx - Presidents' Day gives local kids chance to impress

Presidents' Day Gives Local Kids Chance to Impress with Presidential Knowledge
Memorization feat symbolic of better brains

Naperville, IL (February 15,2016) -- Local kids will show off better brains this Presidents' Day, by quickly reciting from memory all 44 U.S. presidents in order. They can also do it backwards, and often with intense distractions.

"This is one of the first things we have students master in LearningRx brain training," says Lori Bloomfield of the Naperville LearningRx. "It quickly strengthens long-term memory and other cognitive skills, and it also gives a big boost of self-confidence. Many of these kids have struggled in school for years, and for them, being able to do this is thrilling proof that they really are smart."

This type of brain training at LearningRx improves focus, attention, memory, visual and auditory processing skills and even logic and reasoning. "Basically, our training builds better, faster more efficient brains, permanently," says LearningRx Vice President of Research and Development Tanya Mitchell. "Our unique training works so well it often eliminates learning problems, including symptoms of dyslexia and ADHD."

LearningRx students are encouraged to show off their better brains by reciting the presidents to classes, groups and clubs this week. For a preview go to: http://www.learningrx.com/chicago-naperville.

These kids learn the presidents with a memory tool called a mnemonic (neh-MON-ik), which helps people use vivid pictures in a story-like list to remember things. The LearningRx mnemonic for the last four presidents is a bush (George H. W.) linked to a clothesline that is dropping a ton of lint. "Ton of lint" leads to "lint-ton" which then becomes Clinton. The clothesline is linked to another bush (George W.) which is being eaten by a llama with a big "O" on it. This "O-llama" sparks the brain to remember Obama.
