Here is the sample of the first in series of Encyclopedic Knowledge Courses in Little Reader!

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/Vx7Udmyn-gk&rel=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/Vx7Udmyn-gk&rel=1</a>

This is a sample lesson from our 165 lesson Geography "Countries and Cultures" Course. Kindly forgive the typo in the first slide (it is corrected already!)

It includes:

** Anthem Videos (playing Anthem and showing iconic images of the country, flag, symbols, using photo-eye-play effect)

** Four learning sessions in each lesson (which can be played in one sitting for older children and in separate sessions for younger ones)!

** Each learning session has picture flash, 5 country EK facts and a game!

** 40 countries and territories of the world are covered in this course!

** Two Break Time Geography videos in each lesson. Each of Break Time videos is about 30 seconds and  features music and images or video of cities, world heritage sites and cultures from the 40 countries the course is be covering.


Children are learning new facts and review what they learned before! You can learn more about this project in a separate thread here:

Geography Country EK Course Collaboration

Course Building Feature in Little Reader turns Little Reader from pretty incredible Reading, Language and Comprehension Learning System into amazing Early Learning Tool, which enables us create EK courses -- organized, customizable, versatile and easy to use, with build in review and rotation cycles, using variety of Media!

 Stay tuned for updates and write us if you would like to join and contribute to creation of any of the courses you always dreamed of. You will gain access to courses we create, as you contribute to their creation  yes

Hi Poker Dad,

Here are some of the notes from my  conversations with TwiddleWink aka Right Brain Kids company on PEP

I compiled it:

1) "How does it exactly work?"

There are two different kinds of photo-neuroreceptors in the eye: rods
(black/white) and cones (3 primary colors).  The rods are responsible for
depth perception, shading, contrast and definition.  The cones are
responsible for perceiving color.  The rods and cones work together to
send their visual impulses to the brain to create an instant picture of
the child's surroundings.  The stronger the impression, the stronger the
mental picture, and the stronger the child's overall memory and cognition
tends to become.

There are 4 sets of cards: black/white, red/green, violet/yellow, blue/orange
 - the black/white sets stimulate and strengthen the rods
 - the three complementary colors (red/green, violet/yellow, blue/orange)
sets stimulate and strengthen the cones
Twiddle Wink for instance systematically presents each set, and are able to stimulate each type
within the four lessons in each DVD.

2) "What research has been done to confirm it?"

The importance of infant visual stimulation (exposure to light, color, and
movement) was established in neuroscience circles during the 1970s and
80s.

Here are some research links:

Development

Vision Development in Infants: Visual field, eye movements, pattern
perception
http://www.psychology.mcmaster.ca/3gg3/8-vision.html

The British Psychological Society
"Salience of primary and secondary colours in infancy" : substantiating
color relevancy

The National Academy of Science of the United States of America
Newborns' preference for face-relevant stimuli: Effects of contrast polarity
http://www.pnas.org/content/102/47/17245.abstract



3) "I also am curious if there specific rules so to speak on which colors
and combinations of colors/shapes and combinations of shapes to use when
using photoeyeplay. I've seen certain combinations on your videos, what
did you based your decision on using this particular ones?  Another
question is whether you would use the same shapes/colors for the whole
duration of the poem/song, or if it is a longer piece, would you change
the set to a new one? When you do that with a song for instance, would you
take into consideration a beat, or when you read the poem do you taej
poetry rhytm into consideration?"

We based our color presentation on exposure to rich primary and secondary
colors.  The shapes and style of presentation was designed upon specific
feedback from the children in our classrooms over the years.  There is a
lot behind it, but we're a little careful of what we release.

From talking with some Shichida parents, I learned that Shichida also teaches that smth similar to photo eye play can open the right brain pathway and make the fact memorization and retention easier

So of course we do not know everything about it, but those are some of the points. If nothing else, it keep attention and possibly helps with memorization smile  I am not religious about it, as I have not seen much research, but it does not hurt to use it, where it is pretty easy to implement... Those are just some thoughts.

Hi dr pradnyac,

Thanks for your compliments and interest in the Country Course project.  Unfortunately this course will never be available to buy with money.  When you help in creating this course or following courses, you gain access to it.  This country course is scheduled to be finished at the end of November and thus far, only the 38 people working on it will get access keys for the course, but anybody willing to help with our courses, this first one or future ones, can also gain access.

First off, I just want to state that you will need to own Little Reader for this project to be of any use to you. 

This course has been running for long, most of the work has been completed and new people are mainly asked to search the internet for images or do voice recording, averaging about 10 hours' work in total per team member. 

Anybody asking join gets a Personal Message in their inbox on this forum, and we communicate further from there. 

The course is scheduled to be completed at the end of November. 

You can read more about the specifics of what the course includes in this post here on the forum:
