Our Philosophy on Learning & Education

      Children’s brains develop at an astonishing rate. In fact, by age 5 the development of your child’s brain is 90% complete. Lucid publishing encourages parents to take advantage of this window of opportunity and become actively involved in the education of their young children. We hope that all parents will reap the benefits of reading with their children and guiding them in their endeavors. Learning together can also help build stronger bonds between caregivers and children. Multisensory approaches to learning (visual, auditory and tactile/kinesthetic) can improve the efficiency, effectiveness & retention of the lessons being shared with your child. The Complete Hawaiian Reef Fish Coloring Book can be used as a multisensory teaching tool. Read to your child from the book while they are coloring in the fishes and you will find all that all these senses are being stimulated, and you are sharing valuable time with your child. You may be surprised what they can learn!

Is the material in The Complete Hawaiian Reef Fish Coloring Book too advanced for my toddler?

We do not expect your toddler to learn the reproductive strategies of the Wrasses, but your toddler’s brain is developing at an astonishing rate. Show the pictures of the fish to your toddler while saying the fish’s names. Do this on a regular basis. You may be surprised to find that they will learn to identify the different fishes in the book. Never force and never test them, they can recognize the fish even if they cannot say their names.

You say this book has been tested in grades K-12, but what grade level is it really appropriate for?

As mentioned above, we don’t expect your toddler to learn the reproductive strategies of the Wrasses, but K-3 can learn the names of the fishes and color them in, especially if you take the time to read to them. Middle school students are capable of learning all the material in this book, yet it is not too easy for high school students if they have not learned about these topics before. Coloring adds a multisensory component to learning that can enhance memorization and learning, it acts as the “doing” or kinesthetic component that reinforces learning. So yes, it can be fun for all ages.
