How Do We Teach Our Children

The best thing that we as parents can do to really make sure that our children get the most out of this experience is to creatively help them to
learn the material. As a teacher you have to know the different styles of learning to reach a greater number of the children that would be in
your class, well that information will be a helpful tool to you as parents as well. I have enclosed different styles of learning to aide you in observing
your child to see the best way to help them retain the information that their school or you will be teaching them.

What are learning styles?

Learning styles are simply different approaches or ways of learning.

What are the types of learning styles?

1. Visual Learners:
Learn through seeing. These learners need to see the teacher’s body language and facial expression to fully understand the content of a
lesson, They tend to prefer sitting at the front of the classroom to avoid visual obstructions.They may think in pictures and learn from visual
displays including:diagrams, illustrated text, books, overhead transparencies, videos, flipcharts and hand-outs. During a lecture
or classroom discussion, visual learners often prefer to take detailed notes to absorb the information.

2. Auditory Learners: Learn through listening. They learn best through verbal lectures, discussions, talking things through and listening
to what others have to say. Auditory learners interpret the underlying meanings of speech through listening to tone of voice, pitch, speed,
and other nuances. Written information may have little meaning until it is heard. These learners often benefit from reading text aloud and
using a tape recorder.

3. Tactile/Kinesthetic Learner: Learn through moving, doing, and touching. They learn best through hands-on approach, actively exploring
the physical world around them. They may find it hard to sit still for long periods and may become distracted by their need for activity
and exploration.

What is Multiple Intelligence?

They are seven different ways to demonstrate intellectual ability.

What are the types of multiple intelligence?

1. Visual/Spatial Intelligence: Ability to perceive the visual. Theses learners tend to think in pictures and need to create
vivid mental images to retain information. They enjoy looking at maps, charts, pictures, videos, and movies.

2. Verbal/Linguistic Intelligence: Ability to use words and language. These learners have highly developed auditory skills and
are generally elegant speakers. They think in words rather than pictures.

3. Logical/Mathematical Intelligence: Ability to use reason, logic, and numbers. These learners think conceptually in logical and numerical
patterns making connections between pieces of information. Always curious about the world around them while asking lots of questions.

4. Bodily/Kinesthetic Intelligence: Ability to control body movements and handle objects skillfully. These learners express themselves
through movement. They have a good sense of balance and eye-hand coordination. Through interacting with the space around them,
they are able to remember and process information.

5. Musical/Rhythmic Intelligence: Ability to produce and appreciate music. These musically inclined learners think in sounds, rhythms, and patterns.They immediately respond to music either appreciating or criticizing what they hear. Many of these learners are extremely sensitive
to environmental sounds.

6. Interpersonal Intelligence:Ability to relate and understand others. These learners try to see things from other people’s point of view in order to understand how they feel and think. They often have and uncanny ability to sense feelings, intentions, and motivations. They are great organizers,
although they sometimes resort to manipulation. Generally they try to maintain peace in group settings and encourage co-operation. They
use both verbal and non verbal language to open communication channels with others.

7. Intrapersonal Intelligence: Ability to self-reflect and be aware of one’s inner state of being. These learners try to understand their inner feelings,dreams, relationships with others, and strengths and weaknesses.
