Feeding Your Mind and Body

When we learn to read and understand text in any human language, we present our minds with a set of seeds that grow or do not, depending on how much we feed them.

Various things that enter our lives from the start can change the way we learn and impact how we think.

Through our blood streams, vitamins & minerals, waste & pollutants, water quality, and more can affect the health and clarity of our minds.

As we go about daily life, we may bump our heads, crash our vehicles, or engage in activities damaging to our brains.

Then, there is the gradual process of growing, changing, and aging, which hopefully develops our minds for the better, but can often take a turn for the worse.

Underneath all of this, whatever our differing abilities and experiences may be, we learn to read, to decipher symbols, to relate to our language, to create words and form letters, to listen to sounds, and to view images.

How do our brains go through all of this work, and in the end know how to converse? to communicate? to read?

The reading and learning we do eventually frames our mindsets.

Literacy learning in the end is about shaping our minds.

So, how do we best teach literacy? For that matter, how do we best learn it?
While this is being done, how do we measure what has been taught and what we have learned?

Let's Do Lunch can help provide a jump start into literacy learning by providing a safe space to feed the mind by feeding the body :)
