WHAT'S YOUR CHILD'S LEARNING STYLE?
The following Learning Styles Inventory has been used in recent years by educators in determining the learning styles of students.  Just like we all have different personality styles, we all learn differently.  There is no right or wrong way to learn.  Help your child to figure out what his/her learning style is; that is, how he or she learns best.  Then, help to create the conditions that will enhance learning and studying both for you and your child.  Being aware of how your child learns will help to prepare him or her to round out and expand his or her learning by adapting it to the teacher's teaching style.
Whether your child is in public school or homeschooled, do yourself and your child a favor by completing this inventory for yourself AND for your child.  Then figure out the best way to integrate his or her learning style with the daily work and assignments given.  I am sure you will feel some relief.  Have fun with it!  Learning is meant to be fun and lifelong.  Share learning with your child and you will build a strong foundation for years to come!
Print it out and circle the number that best describes your child
(4- being most like me, 1- being least like me).

LEARNING STYLES EXPLANATIONS
VISUAL LANGUAGE
This is the pupil who learns well from seeing words in books, on the chalkboard, charts or workbooks.  He/she may even write down words that are given orally, in order to learn by seeing them on paper.  This student remembers and uses information better if he/she reads it.


VISUAL NUMERICAL
This pupil must see numbers on the board, in a book, or on paper, in order to work with them.  He/she is more likely to remember and understand math facts when they are presented visually; but doesn't seem to need as much oral explanation.


AUDITORY LANGUAGE
This is the pupil who learns from hearing the words spoken.  He/she may vocalize or move his or her lips or throat while reading, particularly when striving to understand new material.  He/she will be more capable of understanding and remembering words or facts that could only have been learned by hearing.


AUDITORY NUMERICAL
This student learns from hearing numbers and oral explanations.  Remembering telephone and locker numbers is easy,and he/she may be successful with oral number games and puzzles.  This learner may do well without his or her math book, for written materials are not important.  He/she can probably work problems in his/her head, and may say numbers out loud when reading.


AUDITORY-VISUAL-KINESTHETIC COMBINATION
The A-V-K student learns best by experience; doing self-improvement.  He/she profits from a combination of stimuli. The manipulation of material along with the accompanying sight and sounds (words and numbers seen and heard) will aid his/her learning.  This student may not seem to understand or be able to concentrate or work unless totally involved.  He/she seeks to handle, touch and work with what he/she is learning.

SOCIAL INDIVIDUAL
This student gets more work done alone.  He/she thinks best and remembers more when the learning has been done alone.  This student cares more for his or her own opinions than for the ideas of others.  Teachers do not have much difficulty keeping this student from oversocializing during class.

SOCIAL GROUP
This student prefers to study with at least one other student, and will not get as much done alone.  He/she values others' opinions and preferences.  Group interaction increases his or her learning and later recognition of facts.  Class observation will quickly reveal how important socializing is to this student.

EXPRESSIVENESS ORAL
This student prefers to tell what he/she knows.  He/she talks fluently, comfortably and clearly.  Teachers may find that this learner knows more than written tests show.  He/she is probably less shy than others about giving reports or talking to the teacher for this learner.  Organizing and putting thoughts on paper may be too slow and tedious a task for this student.

EXPRESSIVE WRITTEN
This student can write fluent essays and good answers on test to show what he/she knows.  He/she feels less comfortable, perhaps even stupid, when oral answers or reports are required.  His or her thoughts are better organized on paper than when they are given orally.
