Help Your Child Discover the Joy of Learning Does your child learn best in the morning, afternoon, or evening? Does his reading comprehension increase or decrease when music is played in the background? Does she prefer to study alone or with others? According to nationally respected educators Mariaemma Willis and Victoria Kindle Hodson, our children process information in a multitude of unique ways. What works best for one child is often counterproductive for others. By trying to force all children into the same learning mode we unfairly short-circuit their education as well as their intellectual development. Discover Your Child's Learning Style shows you how to assess and nurture your child's individual learning potential based on his or her talents, interests, disposition, preferred environment, and more. Inside is a step-by-step program of self-awareness tests that guide you to a better understanding of your child's unique strengths and weaknesses, goals and interests, and inner peace. You'll discover how to create the right atmosphere for learning in the home. Most important, you'll help your child excel not only in school but in life as well. "An excellent tool for discovering how a student learns best. Teaching children according to how they learn ensures optimum education for all; it's an approach that could help make remedial literacy programs obsolete!"—Patricia Flanigan, California State Library Literacy Task Force "Essential for any parent or teacher who works with children."—Suzanne Lopez, psychotherapist and author of Get Smart with Your Heart "A powerful tool for increasing your child's self-esteem. At last, there is a simple solution for every child to become a winner."—Nancy L. Chaconas, M.A., educator, author of HELP-Esteem "Parents who understand the principles in this book will be better parents!"—Richard and Linda Eyre, authors of Teaching Your Children Values… (altro)

Children Learn in unique ways - here's the key to every child's learning success
  jhawn | Jul 31, 2017 |
I read Part I, did the assessment in Part II with my daughter, and then skimmed over the pertinent sections in Part III, which has all of the suggestions to use with each learning style. I got a couple of new angles on information I already knew, but nothing totally new to me. I think the most valuable thing was doing the assessment itself with my daughter and seeing just how in tune she really is with her needs and preferences (and how confident she is in her abilities).

I disagree with the authors' take on talent (there's a fair amount of evidence that talent is created rather than being inborn. Read Talent is Overrated by Geoff Colvin). I also found some of their arguments unconvincing. For example, they state that in some classrooms that have implemented these techniques, teachers find that all of the students received A's on the assessments for knowledge on topics taught to their learning styles. The schools with these results discounted them because they don't follow a bell curve and therefore must be inaccurate. The argument the authors make is basically, well, it doesn't matter. I think a better argument is that if you plotted the results within the A range, they may well follow a bell curve. An A grade is a range, not a point. Perhaps one just needs to zoom in a little closer to see the variation.

I think that a little more intellectually rigorous style might have appealed to me more. ( )

This is an interesting book, which I found helpful particularly with my son, in understanding the best ways to teach him (since we homeschool). There is an extensive assessment which helps identify your preferred/best learning styles. I took the assessment, and also gave it to my son. I didn't read the entire text; I ended up just reading the sections at the end which applied to us. I think this book will be of interest to parents who are involved in their children's education, and also to teachers. Especially relevant in cases where children aren't doing well in a traditional classroom setting; these children might really benefit from an understanding that they learn differently from the ways most school systems usually provide.
