What have you learned lately? Hopefully this is not an intimidating question. Chances are you have learned something new everyday of your life. It could have been a major piece of learning - perhaps a revolutionary theory or skill, or perhaps a more minor tidbit like learning a new route to work that avoids the major road construction in your neighbourhood. The point is that learning is much more than a stack of books. It is definitely more than what takes place in institutionalized locations such as schools and colleges. In fact, you were involved in learning long before you even entered school and you continue to learn as you grow up and move out of school. (Why, at the very least you learn to cope with getting older) Learning is a process that involves gathering information, gaining skills, considering alternatives, making choices and acting on those choices. These choices in turn leads you to gathering more information, gaining new skills, considering diverse alternatives, making different choices - an so on and so on. . . . Learning is an integral part of your life, which brings us to SMART FROM THE START. This book focuses on what you can do to support learning at home. Through practical suggestions and tips you will be able to identify how your child learns and how you can be involved in supporting your child's learning. Does parent involvement make a difference?

Learning is a continual process that requires the learner to be actively involved in making connections between old and new learning. It also demands that the learner take time to collect her thoughts and consolidate what she has learned. We would like you to be an active participant as you explore this book.. We invite you to investigate ideas about learning and to think about learning. To that end, we have included pages called LEARNING LOGS which are designed to assist you in your personal reflections..
