N2  - The book is creatively crafted with symbols and visuals. It tackles the central key to education - reading and introduced a generic framework for effective learning that empowers the learner to tap inherent capabilities and capacities to think-learn-create-care-connect as whole. It is written, simply, easy to read and guides the reader through six discourses to shift paradigm in teaching reading and any subject from the conventional basic teaching to teaching what to learn (content) and how to do (process skills) to a more profound and generic basis for learning called "whole brain literacy," the key to functioning excellently for the "information age" or the "knowledge economy" in the 21st century. An illustrated guide shows the integration of other instructional models like Bloom's Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligence, and Kolb's Experimental Learning Cycle in an attempt to enable teachers how to use in any lesson or activity the processes of learning using the whole brain functioning as more important than the learning of content. Striking features of this book are the advocacy for all educators or anyone who enable others to learn by 1) utilizing a holistic brain-based process approach to the development of higher order thinking (critical/creative) skills in reading, writing as well as in other subjects 2) emphasizing process learning (human information processing) over content learning as a strategy to deal with the complexity of the issue in fast changing times and to be in sync with the advancement in information, communication technology 3) believing that this whole brain literacy ca be taught or introduced as early as the child learns to interact with the world as a necessary competence to function best in the "knowledge economy."
