I have successfully trained many parents including 
          frustrated mothers, fathers and children with the IDEACHAIN program, 
          and I will do the same with you. Everything you need to complete the 
          program (other than a few magazine pictures you'll want to pull from 
          your favorite magazines) is provided for you!
        
    This program is designed to fit the active family no matter 
     whether both parents work and are involved in church and community activities 
     and the children are busy with band, soccer, basketball, gymnastics, or whatever! 
     IDEACHAIN is written in such a way and is so flexible that you can do it 
     just about anytime and anyplace. With a little effort, consistent practice 
     and my careful guidance you can move yourself or your child to a new level 
     of understanding within a matter of months.
    Adult Learners are in a position to move forward more quickly. 
     They are assigned a coach and scheduled for one-on-one sessions to teach 
     the strategies. An adult learner leaves the coaching session with a complete 
     practice plan and suggestions for how to apply the strategies at work or 
     in their academic studies.
        This Is What Parents and Educators Have to Say About 
          IDEACHAIN
        
    Kathy Whipple, Ph.D., Former Department Chairman, Communication Sciences 
     and Speech Disorders, Baylor University, Waco, TX : "Thank you for the 
     opportunity to review MindPrimes IDEACHAIN program. I and several members 
     of the department have examined the lessons. I think IDEACHAIN is a valuable 
     supplemental material for parents, especially when a child has language difficulties. 
     This is very basic material that establishes a foundation for communication 
     between the child and parent." 
        
        
     Dainey D. Lege, Ph.D., Former Professor of Education, 
     Texas Southern University, Houston, TX: "
It was a privilege to 
     review
.MindPrimes IDEACHAIN program. I found it to be educationally 
     sound, clearly written and extremely exciting. So much is available for decoding 
     but (until IDEACHAIN) nothing is currently on the market for comprehension 
     with an emphasis on imaging. Congratulations on a wonderful concept and a 
     job well done. It is my opinion that IDEACHAIN is an excellent tool for parents 
     to use since it is well conceived, clear, simple to understand and meets 
     a real need
."
        Myrn McCord, Parent, Glide, Oregon: "Just a quick 
          update on Laura (age 13, on Lesson 4): I am beginning to notice an improvement 
          on Laura's grades and school work. . . .Today, in her language assignment, 
          she needed to write compound sentences with a complete subject, complete 
          predicate, predicate adjective and nominative. In the past her sentences 
          have been . . .at best, maybe 6 words long. I was so amazed! Not only 
          were her sentences complete, they were compound sentences loaded with 
          more detail than she has ever written on her own. Yes, she wrote them 
          on her own with no help from me. I know she is making that transition 
          to abstract thinking, but this is such a dramatic improvement!"
        Ricky and Judy Taylor, Parents, Hewitt, TX:  "Our 
          family has been involved in IDEACHAIN for about six months. We have 
          a son in the 10th grade and a daughter in the 4th 
          grade. Both children are ADHD and have problems with reading comprehension. 
          During the past six months (working with IDEACHAIN) we have seen improvements 
          in reading comprehension and memory retention. Also, we are seeing improvements 
          in their overall performance in school. Their self-esteem is gradually 
          increasing as we proceed through this study course. An attitude of "I 
          can" instead of "I can't" is beginning to surface. IDEACHAIN has provided 
          us with the tools and skills necessary to help our children improve 
          reading comprehension, word recognition, and retention of the material 
          they read."
        Kim Vandine, Parent, Hewitt, TX: "Since Becca has 
          been participating in the IDEACHAIN program we have seen improvements 
          in many different areas. Her recall of information has improved and 
          she is now able to stay focused on her homework without being prompted 
          continuously. Most importantly, her self-esteem and self-confidence 
          have improved tremendously! She is very inquisitive now -- anxious to 
          learn!"
        
        I'll show you how the professionals 
          do it, and make it easier for you...
        This is not a quick fix nor is it magic...and I'll quickly 
          tell you it won't happen overnight, which you probably already know. 
          But if you will follow the educational exercises in the order I give 
          them to you, you will see the awakening in the mind of the mental processes 
          needed to understand and remember incoming information. And this is 
          the first step toward improving mental imaging and increasing reading 
          comprehension. Here are just a few of the things you will learn from 
          IDEACHAIN:
         
          
            - how to help an individual remember what he sees or hears
- what specific gesture indicates when an individual is building 
              a picture in his mind's eye
- what questions enable an individual to gather more than just basic 
              facts
- the best way to respond to an incomplete answer
- how to ask questions that create a starting point for mental imaging, 
              which is the key to improved comprehension
- specific strategies that offer support to a struggling learner
- how to study vocabulary words so they stick
- how to add more fun to the lessons
- how to cue memory - and forever remember key ideas
- how to work with an individual who is in constant motion
- how to sustain IDEACHAIN when you have "one of those weeks"
- how to switch roles with the learner to give him the experience 
              of leading the way
- how to make reading an active, thinking process when mental images 
              begin to blossom
- how to support the learner in applying IDEACHAIN concepts to homework
- how to use mental pictures to answer factual and inferential questions
- more on how IdeaChain works...
