2.0 out of 5 stars who is this book written for?, 23 Aug 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Brain Gym (Orange) (Paperback)
I am puzzled at who this book is written for. It seems it is written for literate 3 year olds. The style is patronising and not very imformative, very slushy US style which is not to british tastes. To top it all it is badly illustrated. The few exercises it covers are not explained well and many of these are taken from other exercise styles...

4.0 out of 5 stars A book for pupil's to use!, 25 May 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Brain Gym (Orange) (Paperback)
This book needs to be used in conjunction with the teacher's guide in which all the exercises, their purpose and the science behind them are expliained. This is the pupil's book designed to help them with the excercises.
As a teacher who has been awarded a Best Practice Research Scholarship to look into the use of Brain Gym in the classroom, my early work on the subject suggests it is a powerfull tool to aid learning.

1.0 out of 5 stars Where is the research?, 24 Oct 2008
Having sat through Teacher Training Days around 2001 where this approach was heavily promoted, I looked forward to getting my hands on the book. It felt then as if we were at the cutting edge of education.
I was so disappointed. As I tried to cobble some approaches which might suit my very needy pupils at the moment, I looked for the reasearch behind this. I was terribly disappointed. There were 3 or 4 abstracts listed only; little or no information on the sample sizes or outcomes. It appeared that none of the researchers was independednt, and it seemed as if the publications were not peer-reviewed. None of the studies appeared to have been replicated.
Instead what we got on each page was a homage to Dr Dennison. It all smacked of the high-sales techniques used to sell faddy diets. It was only then the truth became apparent to me: Brain Gym is a brand, a commercial enterprise. Dr Dennison may be a very cleverman, but his genius lies in business.
I am now starting to question all we were told in those training days. How much of that was rubbish too?

1.0 out of 5 stars Discredited
Brain Gym is pretty much now discredited in UK education. The science is not science at all. None of the research is peer reviewed. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of Money
At nearly 40 pence per page the content is very poor, and should be avoided at all costs.
