Gryphon House Releases Boosting Brain Power

Book offers cognitive development basics for early childhood educators

LEWISVILLE, N.C.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The first five years of life carry some of the most important cognitive
development, which is why early childhood teachers must be prepared to
stimulate healthy brain growth. A framework for meeting those needs is
outlined in the new book from Jill Stamm, PhD, called Boosting
Brain Power: 52 Ways to Use What Science Tells Us.

Stamm’s 52 strategies – one for every week in the year – offer
evidence-based instructions for how to bring the concepts to life in the
classroom. The book
offers a plan for weekly brain-boosting activities for children birth to
age 5, all with citations for scientific evidence that supports each
strategy.

“Most teachers know that these early years are critical in brain
development, but are intimidated by all of the scientific research,”
Stamm says. “Boosting Brain Power simplifies the research and
explains it with easy-to-implement activities teachers can use
immediately in the classroom.”

Boosting
Brain Power will be released in May 2016 from Gryphon
House, Inc., the leading publisher of educational resources for
teachers.
