Knowing what are the homeschool main 5 learning styles is essential to success in knowing homeschool learning styles.
There are more learning styles, but today I’m focusing only on the top 5 homeschool learning styles.
Besides, understanding how a child learns is one of the best things we can do to empower kids to learn.
Kids are born with an incredible desires to learn.
And we’re homeschooling because we want to be the best coach in helping our children understand themselves.
Most of us have either struggled with the way a teacher teachers or one or more subjects.
Barring the fact a special need exists, we could even think we may have a learning disability.
Worst yet, we may infer by our actions to our children that they may have a learning problem.
Styles of Homeschooling
It’s important to know the difference between preferences in learning style and special needs.
Because you are the only one to know if it’s special needs, I’m focusing on educating you about what is a learning style.
So, it’s important to understand what is a learning style or personality.
First, let me back up to share just a few points about the approach of the public school system.
You need to know that public school has only one way they approaching teaching your child.
And although they tout that they provide many different teaching styles, they do not.
No, I’m not going to clump all teachers together because nobody likes that done to them. There are wonderful caring public school teachers who try to focus on different approaches.
However, traditionally public school has only used one methodology and one environment.
This one size fits all obviously leaves out children who do not learn with the public school methodology.
Thinking about it, not much has changed in the public school system for abut one hundred years or since it’s institution.
Memorization and conformity are encouraged and individualism is minimized or kids receive discipline and labeled trouble makers.
Therefore, learning about homeschool learning styles will help you tap into the way your children learn best.
Besides, when you know the way your child learns best, you can choose curriculum matched to your child’s learning style.
Too, understand that homeschool approach is the best way to identify the learning style of not only you but your children.
It’s easier to identify the type of learner you have by the homeschool approach which fits your child.
