Who needs Brain Training through Joyful Christian?

The answer is that most of us will benefit from a good brain workout. When learning is easier, life is easier. The Christian Cottage Brain Training program known as (PACE Processing and Cognitive Enhancement) is a proven approach to getting measurable improvements in brain performance.
We will begin with a Cognitive Skills Assessment. This allows us to identify any problem areas in cognitive skills. Get started with your assessment here:

Then we develop a customized plan to target and strengthen those weak areas. Students work with a certified brain trainer, doing intense mental exercises that stimulate the brain to make lasting changes in how it performs.

Sometimes people are weak in areas and we are here to help. Please note: our sessions are intense so we work with individuals who can understand “pain/gain” typically eleven years and above. (Yes, even adults are getting great results.)

Our Brain Training Programs develop

Attention -How well the brain concentrates on activities and tasks.

Auditory Processing – How well the brain processes, analyzes, and imagines sounds.

Comprehension – Understanding instructions and meaning

Logic and Reasoning – Perceiving a pattern and reasoning a solution

Memory – Visual and auditory memory techniques and skill building

Planning/ Executive Functioning – ability to plan and organize

Processing Speed – accelerate the thinking process

Visual Processing – How well the brain processes, sequences, and imagines images.

Once we assess, we can now target and improve specific learning skills. For example, brain training can improve how well a student focuses, how easily they memorize information, and their logical thinking skills. Here are some specific areas of training in our program:

  • Attention (Sustained) enables you to stay focused and on task for an extended period of time.
  • Attention (Selective) enables you to ignore distractions and stay focused on what you are doing.
  • Attention (Divided) enables you to remember information while doing two things at once.
  • Auditory Processing enables you to analyze, blend, and segment sounds and is a critical skill for successful reading and spelling.
  • Visual Processing enables you to think in visual images.
  • Memory (Working) enables you to hang on to information while you are in the process of using it.
  • Memory (Long-Term) enables you to hang on to, and access, stored information that was learned in the past.
  • Logic & Reasoning enables you to reason, form ideas, and solve problems.
  • Processing Speed enables you to perform tasks quickly and accurately.

95% of our students will add the Master the Code Reading and Spelling system to their Processing and Cognitive Brain Training. This 24-lesson program will build on the Auditory Process training in the Basic Processing Program and take a student into higher more complex word structures. The final lessons are comparable with 9th grade level skills.

What is the difference between Brain Training and Tutoring?

Both Brain Training and Tutoring are great solutions, but they address different problems. When comparing brain training vs. tutoring, it’s important to consider learning needs and goals.

Tutoring helps deliver missing information. Meanwhile, brain training helps students build stronger learning skills. Tutoring is your answer if your child did not receive adequate information or instruction and needs help to catch up. (illness, distractions, missing work)

Brain training is a great choice for students who:

  • Have trouble focusing on lessons and assignments
  • Are missing or misunderstanding assignments and instructions
  • Are having difficulty with core skills, like reading or math
  • Have tried tutoring in the past but haven’t seen results
  • Need to learn how to learn

By strengthening these skills, brain training can help students understand and retain information the first time it’s taught. It can also help them become more confident and more independent learners, giving them new tools for studying and homework assignments. Most important of all, brain training can identify the root cause of learning struggles and help students overcome these difficulties.

  • Form ideas, and solves problems
  • Learn more easily
  • Think more quickly
  • Overcome learning difficulties
  • Unlock hidden potential

But does Brain Training really work?

  • Christian Cottage Schools,Inc has been a licensed PACE Training Center for over 20 years. (PACE = Processing and Cognitive Enhancement) We have hundreds of happy graduates who tell us our PACE sessions changed their lives. We enjoy being independent trainers who can integrate blessing prayers and a few extras into our individualized training sessions.Here is more proof:Our parent company, LearningRX, has now completed decades of clinical brain training research with tens of thousands of students and trainees. https://www.learningrx.com/brain-training-results/

Easy English helps with Dyslexia

We created the Easy English program to be taught through large print books and video in villages and slums across the globe. Then we discovered that many struggling children can learn to read with it as well. Using those same brain training techniques and listening drills, reading and English speaking come easily.
