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.


Improved LearningSuccess

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 Library

West 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.

We have lots more in store for you from Irish pipers to dulcimers, from teen finance to talent shows, from bugs to creating an Opera!  Contact your favorite branch for specific details or visit our website at www.wfr.lib.fl.us for more information.  While there, check out story times for ages 1-5, including our NEW Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing monthly storytime at Pensacola Main Library.  Also at our website, find out about Wii gaming at select branches, joining the American Girls Club, or visiting our Saturday READ Dogs to meet a dog who enjoys being read a good story. All programs are free and few require sign-ups.  Appropriate ages are listed for each program.

This January we will again be having our Find the Mystery Book search at each of the branches.  Each day, some lucky child will find the mystery book and win a trip to the treasure chest.
