Visual-Spatial Learners

While I don't think I would say that El can't learn in other ways, I can easily say that he learns best by seeing. I can tell him something or he can write it down, but half of the time he has no idea what I said or even what he wrote. Give him the book, though, and he's got it. Luckily, I'm not that great at explaining things verbally anyway. ;)

What this means to us during school is that things must be shown whenever possible. He uses "Rainbow Words" to practice difficult spelling words...


And handmade color-coded value discs to learn tricky new math concepts.

Of course this means that art is always a favorite subject...


...as is nature studies.
