Your child's learning style and spelling

Your child's learning style may affect theior spelling outcomes...

Guest post:
Each of your children has their own exclusive learning style. We process information coming at us in many different ways. You can help your child learn by figuring out their learning style and determining the most effective way to "encode" that information so that they can assimilate it easier and more fully. The three major learning styles are visual, auditory and kinesthetic.


Online Spelling Program

Visual learners think in images and pictures. Their mind is like a mini video camera that is always set on 'record'--in order to remember an event they 'play' back the image in their head. A visual learner will frequently do well in the classroom setting because the majority of information and testing in the school system is visual.

Visual students like to read, look at pictures and observe others around them. Make sure that you include pictures, videos and computers in order to keep the visual child's attention. Children that learn visually also love to write, draw and organize things.

Auditory learners have superior listening skills and have the capability to notice slight nuances in words, tone inflection and overall meaning. Students who frequently talk and/or sing to themselves are usually auditory learners. Auditory children love to take part in discussions but are easily distracted by outside noises, other conversations going on at the same or music. Permit your student to talk through situation in order to reach solutions and open to their need for interaction or verbal repetition.

Kinesthetic learners want to learn through experiencing and touching things. These children have to 'do' in order to learn and their memory is directly linked to bodily interaction. Kinesthetic children sometimes have difficulty in the classroom because most material is geared toward the auditory and visual learners. Teachers, also, do not usually appreciate the student moving around the classroom and touching things. They do excel, however, in activities such as building, sports, drama and/or dance.

For kinesthetic learners, try to include activities that permit your child to touch, explore, play, perform and create. Since these types of learners don't typically visualize or retain information just by listening, you need to design activities that allow them to interact with the senses.

No particular learning style is better than the other and they are all legitimate, intelligent and functional ways to process information. Whereas every child usually has one main learning style, they also have a 'mix' of the all the styles that permits them to access information and take a look at the world around them in their own distinctive way.

Spelling tips for kids - spelling dictionary

We love David's idea of creating a spelling dictionary of the words your child learns!

"It would be fun to list all the words your child has learned every week or every month in a personal dictionary. Letting your child show how well he progresses can encourage him to learn more. Also, his personal dictionary can serve as his guide or reviewer so he would always remember the 1st grade spelling words he has earlier learned."

Spelling tips for children - books

Another great spelling tip to help teach your children how to spell!

Books - Books are excellent ways for you to teach your child the basics in reading and spelling words. As your child reads, he gets familiar with the spelling of the words and the sound of each letter or combination of letters.

You may read together with your child or let him or her read after you read each line or sentence. It would be best to use books with colorful illustrations so that your child can better understand the meaning of the words and consequently, the story.

Spelling Tips for children - spelling lists

Spelling lists - In schools, teachers usually ask first graders to bring home spelling list, which they have to read and review over the weekend. These 1st grade spelling lists are usually list of word families-that is, the words included in the list have similar features such as a common syllable or sound.

You can use these 1st grade spelling lists in helping your child practice his spelling skills. You can ask him to write short sentences using the words or you can ask him to read short stories that have these words. In that way, he'll get familiar with how the words are pronounced and are spelled

First Grade Spelling - guest author

Handwriting, reading and of course, 1st grade spelling are among the basic things your child learns in school. These three are very important as your child's learning capacity with regard to these three aspects can make or break his learning habit and his learning desire as he matures.

The earlier your child is taught and is made accustomed to writing, reading books and spelling his first-learned words, the earlier he is able to nurture good attitude and behavior towards learning.

Particularly, learning 1st grade spelling words are very crucial to a child's development. Spelling bees are common school or classroom activities and for first graders, having won or even merely having participated in 1st grade spelling bees is already an achievement. It's good to reward your child (not monetary though) if he won or got chosen to be a part of 1st grade spelling bees so that they would be delighted to learn more 1st grade spelling words.



On the other hand, when your child gets scorned when he is not able to spell his 1st grade spelling words right, he or she may be discouraged to go to school everyday or to go in front of the class to present, to talk or to participate in another 1st grade spelling bee. That's how crucial 1st spelling words are-they are foundations of your child's education and thus, you have to invest enough time and effort in helping him or her learn his 1st grade spelling words.
