What is My Childs Main Learning Style?

**Collaborative post**

Everyone learns best in different ways. It is important for your child’s development that you get an understanding of their learning style as early as you can in their education. With collaboration from a Private School in Middlesex, here is where you can start when it comes to figuring out your child’s learning style.

It is generally accepted that there are four different types of learning styles: Visual, Auditory, Reading/Writing and Kinesthetic. Here are some points that could help identify which style your child falls into:

Visual Learner

Does your child love art and drawing?
Are they drawn to books with illustrations?
They are very aware of the world, people and objects around them.
They are very good at remembering words, people and places.
Do they do something better after seeing an example of it?

Auditory Learner

Does your child respond to music, and love singing, humming and whistling?
Respond very well to hearing instructions read aloud.
They’re a chatterbox, and love having conversations with everyone around them.
They ask a lot of questions!
Follow verbal instructions very well.

Reading/Writing Learner

Does your child like taking notes when studying?
They will love reading books and writing their own stories.
They will be very good at retaining information about anything that they have read.
When taking on a task, they will always be better at following written instructions.

Kinesthetic Learner

Is your child very into sports, or always constantly on the move?
Kinesthetic learners respond best to learning through activities, games and competition.
They often struggle to stay still and concentrate in the classroom.
Enjoy very hands-on learning and getting stuck into a task very quickly.
They always have to keep their hands busy.

Hopefully, these identifiers can help you determine which category of learning style your child falls into. From there, you can start to develop how they study at home to help make sure they’re working in a way that is comfortable and encouraging for their behaviour.
