Learning Styles
Why
are They So Important?
What are
learning styles and why are they so important?
Scientific studies show that people take in or perceive
information differently and process information
differently. The way we view the world is how we
perceive information. Some learners need to "see" things
concretely (through our five senses) to understand
information. Other learners can understand information
abstractly (visually understand what cannot be seen).
Determining
learning styles aids parents in choosing curriculum,
teaching methods and extracurricular activities. By
understanding the different learning styles yourself,
you can then help your children understand them too,
which will help them relate to and communicate better
with the various people in their life.
What kind of
explanations help this child learn new ideas, concepts,
or skills? How does the child read and spell? How does
the child write? How does the child remember things and
how do they respond to periods of inactivity? How does
this child solve problems?
We’ll cover questions like
these and more, to help you determine your child’s
learning style, and probably discover your own. Kym
shares practical ways to identify you and your
children’s learning styles and to use that knowledge to
help your homeschool thrive.
