Learning style-Auditory

I used to think that Zach was a visual learner, just because he was good at sight words, taught himself how to read and in general was getting a lot of information through things I had scattered all over the house. But in the past few months I came to realize that he is more of an auditory learner, with a bit of visual to it.

Recently, I came across this post about Characteristics of auditory learnes, that definitely confirmed my suspicion. Hop on over it is a great read!

Zach displays a whole lot of these characteristics like:
Hums or talks to themselves!!
They spell most of the time correctly
They can read pretty well.
Most are musically inclined
Good at grammar
Make up great stories!
They remember things they hear during lectures or conversations with others
Good vocabulary
They can carry on interesting conversations and get their ideas across very clearly
They like to talk lot!!
Their descriptions are usually long and they repeat things over and over!
Not good at reading silently
Hard for them to keep quiet for prolonged periods, they just gotta get up and talk!
It’s hard for auditory learners not to express themselves emotionally
Have poor comprehension when reading silently

This has definitely helped me understand him better and now the challenge is to further tailor the way I present materials to him to his learning style. Not always an easy task!

Have a great day,

Reformation Day Giveaway

We are approaching October 31, which is an important date for all protestants. This date commemorates Martin Luther’s nailing of his ninety-five theses to a church door on October 31, 1517 in Wittenburg, Germany, which in turn provoked a debate that resulted in what we now call the Protestant Reformation. As the “Father of the Reformation”, Martin Luther is a vital figure in Church History. His sacrifice and willingness to wage battle against the spiritual, religious, and political powers of his medieval world allowed Christians throughout time to embrace the following truths: salvation by grace alone , through faith alone,  and in Christ alone, along with the supremacy of Scripture, referred to as  Scripture alone, and all of it for God's Glory Alone. These being commonly called the Five Solas of the Reformation.  Danika Cooley, author and creator of the Bible curriculum Bible Road Trip ,  has recently written a book for young people recounting Luther's sto...
