Do You Have An Auditory Learner?

There are different learning styles and I have discussed Kinesthetic and Visual, today we will focus on the Auditory Learner.

How do you know if you have an auditory learner?

Well, first let’s describe an auditory learner.

An auditory learning remembers best what they have learned by hearing the information.

Auditory learners will sometimes:

• read out loud to themselves

• talk to books, movies or the television when involved in the story line

• hears the story in their mind when they read

• will sit in lectures and listen rather than take notes

Do You Have A Visual Learner?

My last post was about kinesthetic learners and today we will focus on Visual learners. This topic is not difficult for me because I can classify myself as a visual learner.

A visual learner is one that needs to see pictures to connect what they are learning.

Do you have a child that jumps on your lap while you are reading a story?

This child is looking for pictures to connect with the words you are saying. This child is also looking at the words and getting more familiar with the pronunciation and how it is spelled.

Habla Espanol?

Teaching a foreign language seems to be tricky for some but it is so important to try to incorporate into your home school curriculum.

We are at an advantage because I am fluent in the Spanish language and will actually be teaching my children conversational Spanish this year.

For those that aren’t as lucky, there are several resources that offer easy ways to learn a different language.

Homeschooling Children of Different Ages

This is a question I get quite often, how do I home school with children of different ages in the same house, and especially toddlers?

What has worked for us and many I have suggested this method to is the rotation system. I have 5 children of all ages. I have taught them that when I am working with the older two, the other three must keep themselves occupied. So, I have a room set up with stations.

Motivating Your Teen To Read

Teen years come with a lot of different battles and one of the battles we may face are those of reluctant readers. This at times comes about because they feel reading is a chore, or part of school work and therefore not enjoyable. Another reason may be that they are struggling with reading at the same level as their peers. Because of these reasons, the teen will take a defensive position and claim that reading is boring and no fun.
