Every child has a different way of learning. Hence a typical
and one-method-for-all rigid environment will not work for all kids. How to
recognize your child’s method of learning, then?
It’s simple. If your child loves to look at visuals and can
remember the words by the way they look, then he is a visual learner. If the
kid remembers concepts that are introduced by way of a song or rhyme, he is an
auditory learner. And, if he is the kind who loves to move about and explore
things by touching and experimenting, his style is kinesthetic.
While introducing a word, if the letters in the words are
spelt out aloud, an auditory learner will grasp it faster. He is someone who
learns words phonetically. Audio videos, music, etc work as best teaching aids.
However, a visual learner needs to see the word on the paper
or board to be able to picture it. Hence, the word also needs to be written on
the blackboard for such learners; flash cards, pictures, and text books work
well for these kinds.
For children who learn through their hands, words need to be
introduced by way of alphabet blocks, so that they can manipulate the letters
to form a word. Crossword puzzles are best suited for older kids with
kinesthetic learning styles.

A classroom that uses
a mix of various styles to suit the varied group will achieve a higher learning
curve than a place which concentrates only on one style of imparting knowledge.
