We hear a lot about learning styles and individual intelligences. Let me put it simply in an invaluable way. Think about your child's learning strength, and I'll give you an example to figure out which one your child is and based on what you figure out your child is, what their best strength for learning is, you can apply that to things your child needs to learn. So here's the example, when you go to the zoo with your child, do they like to go from cage to cage in order so as not to miss anything and have you read the things that are on the cage or do they see one animal in a cage and then see something across the way and run over there because they want to know about that animal and then jump back to something else? Do they like to go and see in the order that they chose. And then when they come home, do they do something sequential with it? Do they draw picture and try to remember which one came after? Or do they do different things? Are they moving the animals around? Are they drawing some pictures and adding their own creatures? And both of those are very legitimate, repetitive learning styles we can use as parents. The child who likes to go in order to not miss anything, is more likely to respond to information that they hear and to learn things in sequences, on charts, with graphs, with graphic organizers. The child who likes to move around and see what ever animal grabbed their attention, is more likely to respond when information is given visually and when they get to do things with it by movement, moving objects or moving themselves.
