The book shows variations for many of the activities, each taking a minute or less to do, and includes sections on the physical skills of learning and related academic abilities: visual and auditory skills for ease of reading; finger dexterity, spatial orientation, and shoulder-girdle stabilization for ease of printing and handwriting; and crossing the midline for whole-body coordination. Two Brain Gym participation stories: "The Spaceman" and "The Fairy Princess" are included.<br><br>Brain Gym is a registered trademark of Brain Gym International.</p>
