Learning Style

Even though she is young, I'm trying to figure out (somewhat) what Squeak's learning style is...or at least have some idea of the learning styles so I know what to look for. This way, I can better serve her as her teacher.

So far, I'm fairly certain the way she processes information is spatial. She can see the whole picture of a concept verses going step by step through it. This is becoming very apparent in math. More often than not, when we start a brand new concept, by the 2nd or 3rd lesson, she is already at the end of the unit. Somehow she goes from Step 3 to Step 10 without the steps in between. This bothers me because I need to go step by step all the way through to step 10 - I'm definitely a sequential learner. If I don't do steps 4 - 9, then I'll have no clue what step 10 is about!

I also asked her how she learns best: by seeing or by listening. Squeak insists it's by listening. Unfortunately, I guess auditory and spatial really don't go together! You are usually visual-spatial or auditory-sequential.

Anyways, if she's a spatial learner and I'm a sequential learner...we are going to clash! So I will just have to pray for wisdom on how to "read" her better.
