Learning Styles

Each child has a specific mode or combination of modes in which he/she learns best.

  • Auditory Learners:  Learn best by hearing cassette tapes, lectures, educational songs and rhymes, rhythm instruments, recitations, singing and reading aloud.
  • Kinesthetic Learners:  Learn best by doing and touching, long nature walks, model kits, yard work, gardening, textured puzzles and manipulatives, typing instead of writing, drama, dance, lab experiments, and building models.
  • Social Learners:  Learn best by interacting with others, one-on-one conversations, discussion, group participation.
  • Visual Learners:  Learn best by seeing flash cards, visual images, matching games, pictures and diagrams, puzzles, watching someone do something, printed material, charts, pictures, posters, wall strips, desk tapes, video tapes, and computer programs.

In addition to the above learning styles, there are many theories about how thinking styles affect a child's learning style.  You will find much written about teaching to right brain vs. left brain patterns and multiple intelligences thinking patterns.  If you want to know more about learning and thinking styles, the following books may be of interest: "Learning Styles and Tools" by Robin Scarlata, "Brain Powering Your Child" by Sharon Smisek, "In Their Own Way" by Thomas Armstrong.
