Do you know ? Your Brain on Reading

Human beings invented reading only a few thousand years ago, and with this invention, we rearranged the very organization of our brain, which is turn expanded the way we were able to think, which altered the intellectual evolution of our species.. The human brain’s extraordinary ability to make new connections among its existing structures, a process made possible by the brain’s ability to be reshaped by experience.
Reading is a fundamental to functioning in today’s society. There are many adults who cannot read well enough to understand the instructions on a medicine bottle.
Reading is important because it develops the mind. The mind is a muscle.It needs exercise. Understanding the written word is one way the mind grows its ability. Teaching young children to read helps them develop their language skills. It is also helping them LEARN TO LISTEN.
Reading not only has tremendous power when it comes to fueling the development of all aspects of language ability, its importance to the entirety of a human life in this day and age really cannot be overstated.
Read Everything you can get your hands on. Read until words become your friends. Then whenyou need to find one, they will jump into your mind, waving their hands for you to pick them. And you can select whichever you like. Reading involves several brain factions, including Visual and auditory processes,phonemic awareness, fluency, comprehension, and more.

Yes... They are Number smart
Mathematical intelligence is the ability to make mathematical calculations, develop equations and think scientific, solve logical and mathematicalproblems.
Number smart students like to experiment, solve puzzles, ask complicated mathematical questions and they display an aptitude for numbers, reasoning and problem-solving.

Create magical sentences to remember well.

We learned to create codes to remember a few words. Similarly , We can create some sentences to memorise a few words or articles.
Do you know which are the 8 planets in the universe ?
Following are the 8 planets in the universe.
Mercury ,Venus , Earth , Mars , Jupiter ,Saturn , Uranus , and Neptune.
How to create a magical sentence
If we take the first letter of each planet , we will get a word
M V E M J S U N
Now we have to create a sentence by using the first letters of each planet.

Name of the planet First letters Word
Mercury M My
Venus V Very
Earth E Educated
Mars M Mother
Jupiter J Just
Saturn S Served
Uranus U Us
Neptune N Noodles

Now , if you remember the sentence
“My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Noodles.”

We can easily remember the planet’s names by using the above said magical sentence.
we have to revise the sentence repeatedly until we become an expert in it.
‘Revision is the mother of memory’
