Do You Know Your Child’s Learning Style?

Do You Know Your Child’s Learning Style?

"Every Individual has its Style."

Learning style refers to the ways by which we all learn, comprehend, absorb, assimilate, accumulate and retain information. Every individual, every child differs in their behaviour, thoughts, habits, and perception. As Parents, teachers we must acknowledge this versatility of learning attitudes. This will help us to educate the child in the pertinent direction in his fundamental stages which will further help him to outshine in his life.

Many psychologists have given different kinds of theories like Kolb’s, VARK,4MAT, left brain - right brain preferences to highlight relevant learning patterns. Thus it becomes important to know and identify a child's learning style which influences his grasping and interpreting caliber.

So let’s understand the different learning styles.?

According to the widely famous VARK Model following are the four major styles:-

Visual -? It involves learning by observation and sight. This could be enhanced by :

  • Mind-maps
  • Diagrams and graphs
  • Flashcards and flowcharts
  • Maps and Images
  • Cartoon clips and animation

Auditory -? These learners absorb concepts by hearing. Following aids? would be helpful for them :

  • Sound recordings
  • Group discussions and debate
  • Speaking and listening tasks
  • Verbal repetition
  • Mnemonic tools like poems, rhyme?

Read/Write - This category of learners learns best by reading and writing. The following techniques would help them a lot :

  • Written articles
  • Book reading
  • Note making
  • Articles
  • Assignment, Project work

Kinaesthetic - These are the learners who learn by doing or touching. These aids would be best suited for them :

  • Models and Materials
  • Experiments
  • Arts and Craftwork
  • Tactile objects
  • Physical activities, sports

Rather than anticipating or urging your ways of teaching it's better to observe your child diligently and appreciate his learning style. In the growing years of your child, you can try all four styles to see your child's adaptability to different patterns. Once you discover the best methodology; learning would be fun.

"Let your Child evolve at his own pace, naturally and magically."

Absolutely true every child has a different learning style. They learn and understand things in different ways. One thing that parents need to understand is that it’s normal if your child is not like others?

Evey child is unique so is his way of learning. If the child couldn't learn in a particular way let's teach in the way he can learn! Great article to read and learn Paramjeet Kaur
