ldr77 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I will begin homeschooling my oldest in the Fall and am trying to research a good book about learning styles to help me sift through curriculum. Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 My absolute favorite description of leanring styles along with specific recommendations for each learning style is by Cathy Duffy. Her own site is here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasmama Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I found They Way They Learn helpful. http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=the+way+they+learn+tobias&tag=googhydr-20&index=stripbooks&hvadid=3587192775&ref=pd_sl_afc3la75m_e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I like both of the ones mentioned above and also Learning Styles by Marlene LeFevere. It's more thorough that Cynthia Tobias' book. Cathy Duffey's is great b/c it makes the connection between learning styles and curriculum choices and implementation. And it is written specifically about homeschooling rather than church or traditional school settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denise in Florida Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 If you are looking for help targeting curriculum to your and your child's needs there is a wonderful book called How to Write A Low Cost/No Cost curriculum. (link to Amazon below) The first section is a series of worksheets to help you decide what you want from Homeschooling, it includes Interests, Learning Styles, Family expectations etc. It is a quick and easy read and can help you narrow down what you are looking for. http://www.amazon.com/Write-Low-Cost-No-Cost-Curriculum-Home-School/dp/0945519214/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1305221745&sr=8-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
