How do you retain new
information best? Chances are, at least one of your children does not learn the
same way that you do. My older daughter does learn the same way that I do, so I
was in for a shock when I tried the same style and activities with my younger daughter.
It should be no surprise that not everyone learns best with the same style of
teaching. That’s why so many people do not have good memories of their school
years; they just weren’t taught in a way that engaged them. The beauty of
homeschooling is that we can discover our children’s learning styles and teach
them in a way that they will enjoy and retain information. Learning styles are
similar to personality traits. Every book I’ve read, and every person I’ve
heard speak on the subject gave different titles to different traits and
styles. For the next several posts, I’ve lumped the different styles into four categories: intake,
output, setting, and orderliness.
Very much looking forward to this!
ReplyDeleteoh isn't this the truth. I have four very different children, who learn very differently. learning how to work with they learn has made such a big difference in our homeschooling. And that indeed is the beauty of homeschooling - we can adapt to how they learn. :)
