Brick House 7

It is only the whole brain that can perform the nearly infinite functions necessary to grasp how the language is built (the conscious analytical mind is totally incapable of doing so). Just speak to the kids and read with them

Point to the majestic design of the building of the language, which is far more beautiful than any building, even Garnier’s. Point to the overall design of the building. It’s more fun to look at the entire building than a row of bricks in it.

When reading, don’t stop and dwell on single bricks or sections of bricks but point on to the next sentence, and then do that again with the sentence after that and keep on going. The deeper mind of the student doesn’t need to know the name of each brick, just how they fit together. Do you need to know the parts of speech being used in this sentence to understand it?

In this way, through reading, your students will learn not only the language but also its grammar system as well. Remember, also, that the mortar we now use in reading is theĀ  mortar poured out of the personalization bag. It does the best job of holding the bricks together. When the kids study a house/read a story that is held together with personalized content, then they are more interested in it. They see it as their house. And it is.
