Learning Styles

Children are more likely to enjoy learning when they are able to be successful. They are more likely to be successful if they are learning in a way that is natural to them.

Different children will approach learning in different ways. The three primary Learning Styles are: Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic. Curriculum that appeals to varying learning styles ensures that all students are able to process information in a way that is natural for them. Moving Beyond the Page provides activities that support a variety of learning styles.

With Moving Beyond the Page, students who are kinesthetic (hands-on) learners are given opportunities to work with manipulatives and have projects that involve creating products with a variety of materials. They will also participate in science experiments and "hands-on" math applications that encourage them to learn in a way that is effective for them.

Students who are visual learners are provided ample opportunity to read colorful story books and create drawings and posters. In addition, they will engage in activity pages that have fun illustrations as well as engaging in visual-spatial puzzles and tasks.

For the auditory learner, Moving Beyond the Page will stimulate many lively discussions between the child and parent. Every lesson provides parents with ways to describe, explain, and reinforce the skills and ideas covered in that lesson. These discussions and explanations will ensure that auditory learners grasp the content of each lesson.
