Most people understand that attention plays an important role in learning. But they may not know that it鈥檚 the very first step in the learning process that occurs in the brain.
Attention is like a funnel that lets kids select and take in useful information. Once the information is there, the brain can make sense of it and store it in memory.
Paying attention may sound very simple. But it鈥檚 a highly developed process with several distinct parts. Kids with attention issues can have problems with any or all of these parts. And if they do, it can affect their ability to learn.
