Reducing complex theories to just three main learning styles-kinesthetic, auditory, and visual-this book is filled with helpful information as well as practical advice. Organized by subject, graphics denote what activities work best for what learning style; throughout, Carol Barnier emphasizes the child's perspective, encouraging parents to use all ways of learning as they watch the light-bulb go on! Activities for grades K-12 are included, including 40 things to get kids writing, spelling activities, different approaches to math, the power of the "ditty", and more! 192 pages, softcover.
