When your child tries to put a new toy together, does he read the instructions first? Then he may be a visual learner who learns best by seeing.

Would he rather listen to someone else tell him the directions? He may be an auditory learner who learns best by listening.
Or, does he want to start putting the toy together without any instructions? Then he may be a kinesthetic learner who learns best by moving his body—arms, legs, fingers, etc.
Children learn in all three ways. But, by understanding learning styles, parents can help make study time more effective.
