“Do you have tips for visual learners? My 20 month old sees me do something once and mimics me.”
Visual learning is a teaching and learning style in which ideas, concepts, data and other information are associated with images and techniques. Visual learners are attracted to puzzles, mazes and building blocks…and even just a roll of tape! If your child loves to look at things and learns through observation, he is a visual learner. This learning style is easily recognized by a child’s love of looking at pictures. You can demonstrate an activity to him and he will learn by watching you. Pictures and dry-erase boards are great tools for teaching a visual learner. When reading to your child, direct his attention to the photos and words, this allows him to see the value of the print.
