LizzyBee Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Our support group topic for next week's meeting is learning styles, and I am talking about visual spatial learners. If you have are one or have one, what should I be sure to mention? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Bay Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Don't assume they actually heard what you just told them even if they're looking you in the eye. Mine is getting much better, but often still needs me to say some things twice and I make her repeat. Rote drill usually fails miserably when learning math facts. Mine learned by doing math all year round with only short breaks. At 10, she has known them for some time. VS learners can be kinesthetic. Mine learns spelling words by writing them over & over and memorizes poems best by copying them a number of times. There's more, but this is all I can think of off the top of my head.

Laurie Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 If you go to http://www.visualspatial.com there's a VSL quiz (with permission to copy). Would something like that be helpful? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's a great website! I've recommended it numerous times. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have thought to include your first item, but that is so true. My VSL gets so caught up in the world inside her head that she doesn't hear the one out here.
