Dear Burbank Family, I hope you enjoyed last week’s topic that focused on tips for supporting your child with their learning process through learning by doing. This week’s topic is understanding what kind of learner your child is and how to support them. There are three main types of learners, auditory, visual, and kinesthetic (learning through movement). Understanding what type of learner your child is can help support your child’s development in the home and educational realm. You can understand what kind of learner your child is by observing the best way that they learn something at home. It would also helpful to understand the best way your child learns at school through teacher feedback, work samples, progress reports, and what areas your child shows the most success in. You might observe that your child can follow directions best through the use of a visual chart, enjoys reading, and understands information well through viewing pictures, your child could be a visual learner. If your child can follow oral directions better than visual charts, often remembers facts or information from video clips, movies, or the radio, your child could be an auditory learner. If your child likes using cubes or other manipulatives to do math activities, learns activities best at home by physically doing the activity, such as helping cook a meal, and/or needs lots of breaks, your child could likely be a kinesthetic learner. Below are some videos that you may find helpful in understanding the best way that your child learns and how to support them. Consider making it a goal this weekend to observe some things about your child that shows what kind of learner they are. Sending our families good wishes, Olivia Smith
