A Child's Viewpoint about types of learning
Different types of learning..... The bbbig ddoog gets a bbiiig boone? Hello my name is Tessa and today, I will be talking to you about different types of learning. Plus a little something special that will help all of us! There are 3 most common styles of learning; visual, auditory and kinesthetic. Visual learners learn with their eyes. Auditory learners learn with their ears and kinesthetic learners learn best by doing. A perfect example to show these different learning styles is learning how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Visual learners learn by watching someone make it. Auditory learners learn by listening to someone explain how to make it. And kinesthetic learners learn with someone by their side telling them the steps as they make one or try many times by themselves until they get it. We all use these three types of learning, yet we are stronger at one. I'm a kinesthetic learner, and my difficulties come with my lack of visual and auditory skills. People with learning difficulties are more than likely to lack in more than one of these types. This makes it so we have to work even harder to go where we want to go and accomplish what we wish to accomplish Did you know that many celebrities have learning difficulties?I won't name them all but I will name two very good examples. Tom Cruise, a famous actor couldn't read while growing up due to severe dyslexia. He had to work really hard on reading and memorizing his scripts to become the amazing actor he is today. George Washington first president of the United States was unable to spell and read. He also had very poor grammar. Both these celebrities struggled with learning difficulties and overcame a lot with patience and hard work.When I was in grade 2, I struggled a lot in school.I was trying so much but things still weren't working. My parents took me to see Dr. Larre, an expert on learning. He helped show me that I was not dumb; in fact I was very smart. Dr Larre got me to do a lot of things such as listening to classical music taking different brain tests, fast forward programs, jumping on my trampoline to exercise my brain, eye exercises and several more things.I still have times that are very frustrating....but I allow myself to take a break and then can get back to work. The best way for me to work is in a quiet place where I can stay super focused, with no distractions.Now, you are probably wondering what the special surprise is?There is actually two. The first one is to remember that you are not stupid, you are not dumb, and you're not Lazy.The second one is something to remember and think of when you are feeling down about your reading. Just remember it took me six years to read at the same level as everyone else. Thank you for listening to my speech about different types of learning. This was my grade 5 speech this year. I hope you enjoyed it! Types of Learning and a Good Starting Point
