A learning style is the way that a person approaches learning. There are three basic styles: visual, auditory, and tactile/kinesthetic. If you understand your child's learning style, you will be able to help with their homework. It can be easy to determine your child's learning style by simple observation and answering a few questions.
Visual learners learn through seeing. They think in pictures and may visualize in their mind the information they want to learn.
Does your child:
- prefer books with pictures? - enjoy drawing and coloring? - like to do jigsaw puzzles? - notice details? - remember people's faces more easily than their names? - like brightly colored pictures, maps, graphs, and charts?
Auditory learners, who learn through listening and hearing information.
Does your child:
- hum and/or sing while performing a task or concentrating? - easily memorize song lyrics and rhymes or poetry? - remember people's faces more easily than their names? - enjoy listening to a book read aloud? - have a good sense of rhythm? - talk a lot?
The third learning style is tactile/kinesthetic. These learners learn by touching, moving, and doing.
Does your child:
- have trouble keeping her hands to herself? - like pop-up books and books with textured pages? - enjoy building and crafting with clay and building toys? - like to take things apart to see how they work? - get impatient while listening to directions, wanting to jump right in? - fidget? - need to get up and move when sitting for a long time?
Remember, there is no right or wrong style for learning. Most people have one style that is dominant, but will use the other styles at times. Some people have a combination of two styles that work best for them. When children are taught in a way that uses as many of the learning styles as possible, they are more likely to understand and remember. What is your best learning style?
Follow the link below will help you discover if you are a visual, auditory or tactile learner? This first link is for older studnets.
