Identifying Your Child's Learning Style

Observation is the best way to figure out which learning style suits your child best. Pay careful attention to the way they play and interact with the world. Make sure to watch your child during unstructured time where they are deciding what they want to do and how to do it.

It can also be helpful to observe your child's weaknesses. Noting where they may be developmentally behind or what types of tasks are challenging for them may help you narrow down their learning style. For example, a child who has trouble following oral directions may be a visual learner, and a child who struggles to sit still in the classroom may be a kinesthetic learner.
