Help Them Learn with Colorful Posters in Your Homeschool Room

From Andrew Pudewa, I learned that keeping visuals on the walls helps kids to learn. Not just any visuals, but small posters with the information they need to know and use. The information is in front of them day after day, and they absorb it.

For instance, I have posted a list of vowels for the little ones. I also have posted lists of odd numbers and even numbers (0-10). For the older ones, I have an English parts of speech poster as well as a couple that are specific to their writing program.

From Dianne Craft, I learned that color helps the brain store information. So, when you create your posters, make them colorful. Your posters don't need to be large, but color is a wonderful addition. Incidentally, if you make your own flashcards, you can make them colorful as well.
