Various kinds of products for intellectual development bearing the "Mindulle" brand of the Mindulle Notebook Factory are gaining popularity.

The demand for tens of kinds of those products is increasing day by day as they help develop in a comprehensive way the intellectual faculties of children and students, including memory, observation and cognitive and analytical abilities, and greatly contribute to promoting their spiritual growth.

“The products for intellectual development of our factory have a wide range of application such as the Korean language, mathematics, foreign languages, biology and music,” said Mun Hyok, section chief of the Mindulle Management Bureau.

Cards for learning the Korean language and the English alphabet and other products for intellectual development developed by the factory were highly appreciated at several exhibitions.

Cards for learning the Korean language help young beginners to have an intuitive understanding of the meaning of the language while practising reading and writing.

Cards for learning the English alphabet enable children to do alphabet learning, the first and most important process in learning English, as a fun to suit their juvenile psychology.

On the basis of the successes, the factory developed a new product for intellectual development for nursery children.

During talks with nursery teachers at different nurseries, the developers of the factory came to know that visual recognition is dominant in cognitive abilities of children under three years of age.

So they newly developed point cards.

Infants do only right-brain thinking without logical thinking, and their total future IQs are determined by how much their right brains are developed in their infancy.

It is said that their right brains are stimulated in the process of memorizing the cards with randomly arranged red dots as images and their intelligence is developed as the process is repeated.

“Generally, children's concentration lasts for about 5-10 minutes, but they did not feel it boring to play with point cards even for over 30 minutes. And we repeated the process of showing them the cards and letting them memorize the number of points printed on them while gradually increasing the number of cards. Surprisingly, many of the children memorized all of 100 cards in a little over 20 days,” said Ho Chun Gum, a teacher of the Mirae-dong Weekly Nursery in Phyongchon District, Pyongyang.

According to her, they showed babies who cannot yet talk 20 cards three times every day and after a month, when they showed the children different cards at a time and called the number of points printed on a card, they looked at the card with the matching number.

Now, the Mindulle Notebook Factory is also developing in succession the products for further developing the amazing image memory of nursery-age children.
