As soon as I saw a product with a money-back guarantee, I had to give it a try. I was amazed.
Times Tales started in the brain - or maybe it was in the heart - of homeschooling mom Jennie von Eggers, who noticed her own two sons needing help with specific multiplication facts. Over and over, she noted that the same 6s, 7s, 8s, and 9s were harder to mentally process. Jennie turned the problems into simple stories, told to trigger the memories of her sons, and it worked. In no time, they could recall the facts. With that success, Jennie teamed up with two other moms to help moms, dads, and math teachers around the world.
Only a year old, the system has many success stories, including stories from parents of children with learning difficulties. The Times Tales stories are simple, as are the drawings, so your child's mind won't be clogged up with too much information. Times Tales appeals to different types of learners since it gives the information to children in just the right way. The stories are fun, paint a mental picture, and are easy for your visual child to remember. Hearing and re-telling the stories stimulates your auditory learner. The reinforcement game gives your kinesthetic student the hands-on element he needs.
Step-by-step instructions lead you through pre-test, lessons, flash cards, and post test, and you can teach these higher level multiplication facts in less than an hour. Remember, it's guaranteed to work, too. The packet includes the story flip chart, Trigger Memory cards, regular flash cards, mix & match game, instructions, memory story guide, two practice tests and two written test challenges. I couldn't stand it; I had to try it out.
Dear-daughter Rebekah is a 6th grader who places Math somewhere near the bottom of her "favorite subjects" list. More eager to read adult Christian historical fiction, or learn about history and biology, Rebekah has struggled periodically with her ability to remember facts like 8x8 and 7x6. She was the Cariker household guinea pig. Despite my strep throat, we tackled the packet with her standing in the doorway of my bedroom, clear of germs. In 43 minutes, we went through the entire packet - and she made 100 on the test. Days and weeks later - and at this writing - she still remembers the simple stories and the facts they pressed into her memory. As far as I'm concerned, the product works, living up to its claims. |
