Firm Foundations for Learning
All learning relies on how we perceive the world and how we process what we perceive.
How we perceive the world depends on how well organized our sensory systems are.
For example, you may have good eyesight but find that the print moves or becomes blurry. You may hear quite well but often miss some of what someone (e.g., teacher) says to you.
If the information coming into your brain is confused, even the best ability to process is going to end up with learning difficulties.
When the information coming in is clear, it is easier to deal with. This allows teaching and learning to be effective and even enjoyable.
Getting ready to learn by putting in a firm foundation is the process of developing the abilities you need to perceive and process what you need to learn.
