The other day I was looking at my remote control and noticed that it had a learn button. This got my brain to going. Thinking wouldn’t it be easier if we just had a learn button to learn new things or even better if children had a learn button. How easy would teaching be if you could just push a button and impart knowledge? Of course my husband chimed in that they also need a mute and rewind buttons as well but that is for another article. All of this got me thinking about how children actually learn. Discovering your child’s learning style is one of the best ways to improve academic success.
So what is the big deal about learning styles? Simply put a learning style is channel or mode through which some best acquires a skill or knowledge. If a teaching method worked for me it should work my child. Most parents or teachers believe that what works for them is the best way to learn. Unfortunately not everyone learns the same way. Do you have to see something done before you can grasp a new skill or maybe you prefer to be told step my step instructions. Learning styles include: auditory, visual and tactical/kinesthetic.

My daughter (3rd grade) and I just read the Mississippi book toetgher. It was wonderful for both of us. She was diagnosed with dyslexia about 1 week ago and learning more about it helped me to realize why things like reading, spelling, handwriting and math facts and word problems were always so difficult for me. It was a very empowering book. Thank you. We will check out the others too.

With havin so much content and articles do you
ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My blog
has a lot of unique content I’ve either written myself or outsourced
but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet
without my agreement. Do you know any ways to help prevent content from being
stolen? I’d really appreciate it.
