Lucas Learning System™ Explained
Before children know the alphabet and numbers they begin to learn as parents point to and identify tangible objects. Parents will say, “That is a chair, that is a dog, that is a cat, that is a table.” This learning process goes on and on as they identify hundreds and hundreds of objects. When children learn the identity of any object it can never be forgotten, because every time they think of an object an image of that object automatically appears in their minds, and they see it, and know it. We all have that ability, and more importantly it happens automatically. I want to prove it to you by asking you not to do something. Please do not see a zebra in your mind. That’s right do not see a zebra. It’s too late. You saw a zebra didn’t you? Just the thought of an elephant, giraffe, screwdriver, monkey or any other tangible object automatically brings a picture of them to our minds, and they can’t be forgotten.
Unfortunately this automatic learning ability cannot be used in schools because nothing that a child is called upon to learn has a tangible identity. It is all abstract and intangible data that is actually just “ink on a page.” It doesn’t conger up a picture in the mind. What if a “pronoun” walked into the room where you are. Would you recognize it? Of course not, because you have never “seen” a pronoun. I have changed all of that. I have spent my lifetime giving identities to the abstract and intangible data children need to learn.
Let me show you how a state and its capital can be made tangible and never forgotten. You see a picture of an ark, like Noah’s ark, with a can in front of it. The ark is holding a saw. The “ark,” the “can” and the “saw” is how I picture Arkansas. The ark is using the can as a holding place to saw a little rock in half, and Little Rock is the capital of Arkansas. In the future every time you think of Arkansas this picture will pop into your mind, and you will “see” that Little Rock is the capital of Arkansas and never forget it. I have given an identity to all of the abstract and intangible data that children need to learn, so when my educational website is created children will learn everything as easily as you just learned Arkansas and Little Rock, and more importantly, not forget it. I have even pictured every sound in the English language to make learning how to read and write easy, fun and unforgettable. I have also developed hundreds of characters, learning environments, video games, special music and much more. My educational website will be known as Dr. Memory’s Universe. Students will actually “see” what they need to know in tangible pictures, since I have given an identity to all educational data. Over the years everything for my website has been developed in 2D, and it must be created in 3D for today’s needs. I spent years finding the best people in their fields to help bring it all to life. They are all excited to get started as I am.
