Learning styles

I just started myself, but it is true that every thing you buy doesn’t work with every child. The first example is the grammar I purchased. I am using First language Lessons and it is repetitive which my daughter loves. She just thrives in repeating the definitions and doing the chants. My son, not so much. So I do not repeat for him as the text says to do, but instead keep it super short and I try to incorporate a game where he is seeing something or doing something. For linking verbs instead of chanting them like I did with my daughter, I wrote short sentences with the linking verbs then cut the subjects out seperate and the adjectives seperate and had him make sentences using the correct linking verb. This activity took like 3 minutes tops and 2 sheets of paper and when it was over I asked what were the linking verbs and he could tell them all back to me that we had used. So that is how I use their learning style to aid them i quicker absorbtion and retention. 

We listen to audio books often and my son absorbs more if he can do something at the same time like color or build with legos. My daughter does best with these if she listens while eating or riding in the car. 

My daughter was having trouble writing, she is a lefty, but I have found that Handwriting with out tears method of wet, dry, try is a miracle worker. I write on a chalkboard slate the cursive letter she is learning. She takes a small wet sponge and traces what I wrote. Then she takes a dry sponge and drys the board and follows the same pattern. then she uses the chalk and writes the letter and then I add one more step of the wonderful and fun marker & whiteboard. After that we then write with pencil on paper and then the final thing is to write it in pen once she is confidence and this is what we check. 

My son doesn’t want all the hoopla, he just wants to write it and move on. If he has trouble with something then we do the other.   HTH

I actually googled and found a test that I used for my son.
