B is for Bird! Why fun learning is important to development
Having fun while learning the alphabet is essential for preschoolers to maintain retention in a positive educational atmosphere. Offering a nurturing learning experience is the duty of every educator, caretaker, and parent. Children that have fun while learning view education in a positive manner, encouraging them to excel as a lifelong learner - a person who admires and respects literacy.
According the the Washington Post, brain research suggests children who are entertained by learning usually experience a higher level of authentic education and long-term retention compared to children who are forced to learn in an anti-fun setting. Children are most stimulated when they are having a good time and end up associating the educational activity as a joyous event. This encourages children to engage and be better receptive to educational fun rather than avoid such events. When children have fun, the brain releases chemicals - dopamines and endorphines - the same chemicals pharmaceutical companies copy to create pills meant to deter depression and anxiety. The only difference is that fun-stimulated chemicals are the brain's natural way to fight off negative moods and feelings. Having fun while learning is the healthiest form of learning with the best long-term benefits.
One of the most popular songs in the English language is the Alphabet Song. Almost everyone knows the song and most people learn the song as they begin to learn how to talk as toddlers. The song is a great way to mix fun with education. As your little one grows and is able to identify alphabet letters by site, it's beneficial to introduce worksheets into their daily routines. If you are celebrating the letter B or birds this week for your lesson, you're in luck! Here is a "B is for Bird" worksheet perfect for early readers.
