More often than not, these children, although very bright, receive the lowest grades. The school model actually penalizes this type of learner by rarely allowing assignments or testing to be completed in the kinesthetic style. Teaching and testing children exclusively in the style in which they learn may actually disempower them by only building one of their strengths. And, although learning theories such as Dr. Howard Gardner's seven types of intelligence are good, the school day does not usually provide teachers the extra time to design, teach and test in each of those seven learning styles. When your child is reading, tell him or her to look up and create pictures of what they read.
Good readers turn all the black and white symbols on the page into images.
That way, they can easily recall the pictures during the test. It's important that your child physically lift their head and eyes upward when they create, store and retrieve these images. Adding color and movement also improves their creative imagination, recall and grades. Next, for subjects like spelling and math facts, have your child make note cards with different colors for odd letters in the words or difficult math facts and hold them up above their eye level when studying. This insures that the physical, kinesthetic and auditory learners create images of the new information so that it can be easily recalled during the test.
