“My mother used to say, "Tell your brain you want that piece of information or you want to solve this problem, and then just walk away from it. Just forget about it. Just do something else, completely distract yourself, and you'll see, it's like a computer. Eventually, it will deliver it up." And I find that's really true.” WantProblemUsedMotherWalksForgetBrainPiecesInformationComputerSolveReally True Author:Emma Walton Hamilton
“It might be helping to explore a story visually by going to see a museum exhibit that's relevant to something that somebody's reading, or going to see a show or listening to a piece of music or cooking a meal that's in one of the stories, something practical, something kinesthetic that draws the reader in and helps them to experience the story for themselves. Those are all ways I think we can kind of come in the back door and help kids find the joy, as opposed to the chore or responsibility, of reading.” ThinkingWayKindHelpingStoriesShowsMightKidsJoyReadingResponsibilityPiecesDoorsListeningReaderDrawsCookingPracticalsMealsMuseumsRelevantExhibitsChoresBack Doors Author:Emma Walton Hamilton
