Learning Styles—Your Blueprint for Homeschool LearningSuccess™
by LearningSuccess™ Coaches Victoria Kindle Hodson & Mariaemma Willis Whether you’re a homeschooling veteran, a new start, or just thinking about taking the plunge into homeschooling, finding out your child’s learning style will show you the route that you need to take to ensure your child’s success! One mother we met at a conference assessed her children's learning styles and came back the following year to tell us, “This has been the best year ever! I gave my kids the profiles, bought materials for their learning styles, stopped trying to make them learn the way I learn best, and it made all the difference. I wish I had known all of this sooner!” Finding out your child’s learning style has benefits for your child and for you. This kind of information can improve: 1) your child’s chances for success, 2) your ability to communicate with your child, 3) your ability to teach effectively, and 4) your chances of raising a competent, responsible, independent, creative adult. If you want a sturdy, comfortable house, you wouldn’t try to build it without a blueprint. If you want to take an enjoyable trip, you wouldn’t go across the country without using a map. If a coach wants to bring out an athlete’s best, he wouldn’t recommend a training program for her without knowing her strengths and weaknesses.
Winter 2010 Programs at Your West Florida Public LibraryWest Florida Public Library branches are presenting a wonderful variety of programs during the Winter/Spring 2010 season. Our first program for the new year will be a guest visit from volunteers Leslie Weil and Paul Morrell of Historic Pensacola Village who will be sharing Dead-of-WinterGhost Stories. Come prepared for goosebumps as you hear spine-tingling ghost stories! You’ll also get a glimpse into the lives of our unfortunatePensacola neighbors who lived or didn’t live through the yellow fever epidemics of the 1800’s.
