Learning Styles Part One
A neat homeschooler stie offers: Child's Learning Style test so the kids and hubby and I had fun one day. There is also an adult test. Kids amazed me, one surprised me and it was lots of fun to do while keeping in mind things can change and there is no "good" or "bad" here.
Going through grad school I realized just how visual I really am. If the house is really messy, I just can't study! Also, my dry text books that are only black and white text ended up being heavily highlighted in multiple colors. When learning was easy I did not have to work so hard, but parts of this degree have challenged me in tough ways, and those books were marked up! Taking the test showed my pie graph as mostly visual, next auditory and then very little kinesthetic.
Hubby took the test and was shocked. Always thought of self as visual learner, and he does have a photographic memory. Yet he tested out hugely auditory! This made perfect sense to us as he will struggle to listen to us while music plays or when all kids talk at once he gets overwhelmed while I can sort their voices out. Really neat to learn new things about our selves!
Will post on kids next...
