Learning about Learning Styles

November 5, 2003

This is the first in a series of threads about learning styles. I hope you find them helpful and write to tell us of your experiences with yourself and your children.

This model describes four ways people receive information:

Visual - receiving information throught the eyes, what we see and read. Some children teach themselves to read and prefer color illustrations and materials that have charts and graphs.

Auditory - learning best by hearing - either on tape or in a discussion.

Kinesthetic - energy in motion - needing to make physical contact with things learned.

Social - learning through interaction with other people - especially one on one attention.

Which way do you learn best? How about your child(ren)?

Let us know!

~~~~this is how I learn the best......

Auditory - learning best by hearing - either on tape or in a discussion.

This is how my 20 year old son learned the best and It seems to be how the nearly two year old son learns to best

Kinesthetic - energy in motion - needing to make physical contact with things learned.

This is the only way my 19 year old learned anything

Social - learning through interaction with other people - especially one on one attention.

This is exactly how our five year old daughter learns the best
