Note these preferences and look for materials and methods that allow you to cover information in these ways. Most kids are not going to fit perfectly into one category or the other. These are generalizations, and God has created us each as individuals with unique interests, giftings and calling. The reason why I present learning style theory to Christian parents is to encourage us to consider the uniqueness of each of our kids when planning our home school program. Consider how these preferences indicate the way your child learns best.
Home schooling is always about trade-offs and the gap between the ideal and realities of our lives.
Not only do I have four kids to accommodate, but I also have a husband, a budget, and other responsibilities to fit into my home schooling program. Considering each child s learning style is just one of the many factors that goes into planning our overall program. I strive to accommodate each child s preferences in at least one area. Now that my teenagers are old enough to take full responsibility for their programs, I allow them to choose their own materials, and context for learning. That s why my sons have a tutor for math, an online course and several co-op classes that meet weekly.
