This document describes two simple brain exercises - the first asks the reader to read words on slides and the second asks them to say the color of the text rather than read the word. It suggests that the second exercise may be more difficult and that with practice, performance on both exercises could improve, demonstrating how the brain processes information differently when asked to complete slightly varied tasks. It closes by noting that with practice and patience, some children may be able to overcome difficulties in seeing or processing information as clearly.
