Visual (spatial) learners learn best through images and words they see. These students tend to notice details. They learn from things they see and creating pictures in their mind. If one uses the visual style, they prefer pictures, colors, and maps to organize information. They easily visualize objects, plans and outcomes in their mind. These students love drawing, scribbling and doodling.
Learning Styles
Most students learn in a combination of ways but lean toward one style. Understanding how your child learns can help you and their tutor support homework, projects and studying. Over the next week we will take a closer look at the 7 learning styles. Try to see which learning styles your child may use.

After preparing the material to study, students should quiz themselves regularly for at least a week before the test. The brain is basically like a muscle that grows stronger with use. Having students write out questions, then retrieve information and connect the dots repeatedly is more effective than passively reading or listening.

Studying For Tests Part 1
We are asked all the time what is the best way to study for tests. New brain studies indicate the most effective way to study for a test is to write out the concept or questions with answers and examples in your own words. Check back tomorrow for how to apply this studying method.
Parents Correcting Homework & Teachers
In the long run, it is not helpful when parents constantly correct their child’s homework before they turn it in. Correcting your student’s homework gives teachers a false impression and ultimately hurts your child. If everyone’s homework in the class is perfect, the teacher will assume everyone gets the material and will either move on or give a test on the material. Teachers use homework to decide which students need more review, which are ready to move on, and whether the lesson was effective.
Memorizing and Understanding
Anyone can memorize things. The important thing is to be able to understand it. We make this happen.

What You Say Vs. What You Do
People may doubt what you say but they will believe what you do.
Teach Giving Back
Demonstrate that giving back is the most important thing one can do. You can teach this with money. If you hand a kid a quarter to drop into the local street corner animal shelter container, they are just delivering YOUR money so nothing is learned. Sometimes kids need to know how it feels to help others with the sacrifice of donating their own money. This also works with donating some holiday and birthday presents and Halloween candy to the sick or poor.
