Chess Benefits Students
Dexter Community Education is pleased to offer a Chess Club for students in K-6.
Research shows that students that learn to play chess are better students. The research is both scientific and anecdotal. A study done by the University of Memphis showed that students that chess improved a child's visual memory, attention span and spatial-reasoning. It helps children learn to plan ahead and make sound choices. Children also become creative and critical thinkers. Dexter Community Education is pleased to offer a Chess Club for students in grades Kindergarten-sixth. Student receive weekly instruction, handouts to take home and a T-Shirt. Also, DCE will be hosting a series of Chess Tournaments this spring. Call 734-424-4180 for details or visit onlinedexter.com and search chess for details.
