If you are like many
parents, helping your child
complete schoolwork “Helping Parents Help Children”
online was a tiring process.
Many kids struggled with
focusing, maintaining
effort, and getting every
assignment done without
a battle. One parent told
me she developed a new
appreciation for what teachers do in the classroom. Being
your child’s home education teacher might have made you
wonder about your child’s preferred learning style.
Some children are primarily auditory learners. These
kids learn best by listening to audio books, podcasts,
and discussion. Auditory learners have stronger reading
comprehension when they softly read aloud so they can hear
themselves.
Other children are primarily visual learners, they learn best
by seeing a diagram, map, or watching a video. Children who
are visual learners study their notes for a test and then during
the test can visualize the page of notes that has the answer.
Many children are multisensory learners and they learn
best using a variety of strategies. They benefit from touching
flash cards and sorting them into categories as they study.
Color coding important information helps multisensory
learners.
Kinesthetic learners need to be moving as they learn.
These children can bounce a ball to a rhythm while saying
aloud their multiplication facts. Some children stand or walk
around as they study. Kinesthetic learners benefit from hands
on learning.
I can test your child to determine his or her learning style
and then give you recommendations on how to build upon
these strengths to help your child excel in school. You can
also Google “online learning style survey” and complete a
free one.
I also test for ADHD/ADD, dyslexia, gifted, and other
processing disorders. Contact me at (561) 625-4125 or
