Children assimilate and retain information better when supported by their preferred learning styles. They are also more likely to select the best subjects, skills, and careers in tune with their learning styles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result, learning is less of a struggle and more of a pleasant experience for them. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/files.eric.ed.gov\/fulltext\/EJ1210888.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several studies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> affirm that if students know their learning styles, their learning and self-actualization levels improve. In addition, individual learning styles provide teachers and students with feedback on their academic strengths and weaknesses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding your child\u2019s learning style is critical to providing the support they need to excel. But how do you identify their learning styles? Does grasping ideas quickly from the TV automatically make your child a visual learner? And does memorizing the lyrics of a song qualify them as auditory learners?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recognizing your child\u2019s most preferred learning habit can be tricky, but this article will guide you. It discusses the most prominent learning styles, how to identify them in kids, and what they say about them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s begin.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What are learning styles?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learning styles are how students gather, understand, interpret, conclude, and store information. They are how each student prefers to learn. Learning styles are mostly influenced by students\u2019 cognitive abilities, emotions, and environmental factors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Psychologist <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellmind.com\/david-kolb-biography-2795505\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">David Kolb<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was the first person to highlight the theory of learning styles in 1984. He believes that learning styles are influenced by our genetics, life experiences, and our current environment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Types of learning styles and how to identify them in your kids\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/vark-learn.com\/introduction-to-vark\/the-vark-modalities\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VARK model <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">identifies the major learning style types as visual, auditory, reading and writing, and Kinesthetic.

They prefer to learn through visually appealing materials, from magazines to videos and books with images. Learners who fall into this category can usually remember where information is located in a book or other visual materials.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They prefer to see their <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.explico.sg\/blog\/how-to-identify-the-right-teacher-for-your-child\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">teachers when learning<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,\u00a0 so in-person learning and videos are most suitable for learners in this category. If your child is a visual learner, you can support them by recommending they sit in front of the classroom to see the teacher and board clearer. You can also supply visual materials like flashcards, drawing boards, images, etc., for them to learn effectively.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Auditory Learners\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4340450\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">30% auditory learners<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the world population. This category of learners absorbs and retains information through their sense of hearing. They respond better to verbal instructions, audiobooks, music, and other forms of oral presentations. As an auditory learner, your child remembers names, prefers oral reports, and follows oral directions to written reports and instructions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can support your child with audio resources if they are auditory learners. You can also encourage them to read aloud to themselves and urge them to participate in group study discussions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Reading and Writing<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reading and writing learners consume and absorb information by reading and writing. These learners prefer text to visuals or audio. They also perform better at reading comprehension and written assignments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your kid falls into this category, you can support them by encouraging written <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.explico.sg\/blog\/5-ways-to-introduce-a-topic-to-your-child\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">quizzes on topics<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and written statements to describe charts, diagrams, and their interpretation of a concept.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Kinesthetic Learners<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kinesthetic learners make up about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4340450\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5% of the population<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This learners\u2019 category learns and absorbs information by touching, doing, moving, or being active in other ways. Kinesthetic students recall information through demonstration, building models, and practice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kinesthetic kids learn effectively from practical experiences and may be uncomfortable staying idle for a long time. They may also be good at sports, musical instruments, and other hands-on activities. If your child is a kinesthetic learner, you can encourage them to participate in practical activities that test their skills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Identify your child\u2019s learning styles with Explico\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identifying your child\u2019s learning style is easier with Explico.
