F. Learning style kindergarten and first grader to sixth grade.
1) Learning style kindergarten

Kindergarten is considered an important and purposeful educational
level and it is not less important than educational levels. The teacher seeks

to provide an educational environment to the child to help him acquiring the

specified cognitive skills of the curriculum using innovative teaching
methods based on the modern cognitive learning techniques, which

motivate the child’s thinking during the process of learning.

Academic success is not only determined by what your child is

taught, it also has to do with how she is taught. Although there are several
ways to present information to a child, she will usually gravitate toward one

of three common learning styles and you can start to notice her learning
tendencies during the first few years of schooling. Once you determine her

main style of learning, you can plan activities and lessons at home that work

with that learning method to optimize her chances of understanding and
retaining information.

a. Visual Learners in kindergarten are attracted to puzzles, building sets,
the computer, cutting and passing, and other activities that involve their

eyes and hand. Drawing and printing come easily, as does that the
memorization word of configuration by the beginning reader. A visual

learner learns best by watching someone explain or show her. If words
and concepts are written down, your child will also retain that

information well. If you’re trying to teach your child a specific topic,

utilize some visual aids, such as drawing pictures or showing her
colourful props or books with catchy pictures. This will help your visual

learner pick up on the info and keep her engaged. Act out lessons with
your body, such as making a triangle or circle with your hands to show

shapes. Let her draw and work mazes and puzzles.
