Article: Whether you homeschool your child or just provide help with homework it's helpful to match your teaching style to your child's learning style. The best way to teach auditory learners is through verbal instruction and reading out loud. You should also incorporate songs or music into your teaching style. For example, if you want them to memorize a scientific equation, try putting it into a song. The best way to teach visual learners is through visual aids, flashcards, and educational videos. For example, if you are trying to teach them state capitals, draw a map of the U.S., outline the states, and indicate where the capitals are located. The best way to teach kinesthetic learners is by allowing them to do hands-on projects. For example, if you're trying to teach them about volcanoes, have them build an actual model of a volcano. When choosing an educational program for your child, find one that complements their learning style. For auditory learners, traditional educational programs tend to work best. However, you may also want to consider enrolling your child in an educational program which focuses on music or has a strong music department. If there are magnet schools in your area, look for one that specializes in music. For visual learners, traditional educational programs also work well. However, in some areas there are magnet schools which focus on the visual and performing arts. For kinesthetic learners, a Montessori program may fit their learning style best. These types of programs take a more hands on approach to learning. You can find Montessori programs in your area by conducting a search online for "Montessori schools near me." In addition to choosing the right teaching method and educational program to suit your child's learning style, it is equally helpful to teach your child how to study based on that style. For auditory learners, have them create rhymes to memorize information, such as facts and dates. If possible, have them record lectures so that they can study by listening to the recordings. For visual learners, have them use flashcards when memorizing information. They can also study using their textbooks, particularly ones with graphs, pictures, and charts. For kinesthetic learners, have them use flashcards to study, particularly when learning facts, dates, and processes. Encourage them to take breaks when studying, as they need more time to process information (and often to release pent-up energy). Some children may have a combination of learning styles, so don't expect them to completely identify with a single style. Also, a well-rounded individual needs to be able to acquire and utilize information in a wide range of ways, including through listening, looking, and doing. Complement the child's learning style with elements of the other major styles. Utilize flash cards with auditory learners and read aloud to visual learners. Help kinesthetic learners recognize that not every learning activity can be hands-on. Learning styles are not set in stone, and can sometimes shift as a child develops and matures. So don't assume that an auditory learner will always be strictly so; expose them to other learning styles all along the way.

What is a summary?
Match your child's learning style with your teaching style. Find programs that cater to your child's strengths. Teach your child to study based on their learning style. Don't completely limit your child to a single learning style.
