A Primary 4 English book was randomly flipped and given to two K2 students, Lynette Teo and Keziah Lam, to complete. Within 10 minutes, both girls did 10 questions and Keziah scored 8 questions while Lynette scored 5. The girls were asked to learn from their mistakes by providing the answers and understanding why they got the questions wrong.

Thereafter, they were tested verbally on the wrong questions as well as spelling of words which they didn’t know. Both were able to answer fluently and even spell the words backwards with no mistake, becoming second nature to them.

Both girls completed the Cognitive Developmental Program, consisting of 5 terms and applied the approach of Mental Imagery to their schoolwork. – Featured in Shin Min Daily News, Nov 2007
