How to Homeschool a Visual Spatial Learner
It can be a huge challenge if you do not know your child’s learning style. Or if you’re not a visual learner yourself, it can be a huge nightmare trying to teach your child. This was the case for us, I’m an auditory learner who learns best by reading and hearing the information while my son need to see the visual side of teaching which I didn’t realize. This lead to many frustrating moments for him and myself. Once I discovered he was a visual spatial learner, this changed my world. I had been trying to do all of the things that worked for me but these things did not get through to him. I had to change how I was teaching and find resources that would work best for him. How Do I Teach My Visual Spatial Learner? How Do I Teach My Visual Spatial Learner Math? How Do I Teach My Visual Spatial Learner History? How Do I Teach a Visual Spatial Learner Without Pulling My Hair Out? How Do I Keep My Visual Spatial Learner Motivated?
