Love2Learn and Learning Styles

Your child’s learning style has an enormous impact on how they assimilate and retain information.

A visual learner learns optimally through their sense of sight. They enjoy bright pictures and pictures that move, for example, movies.

An auditory learner learns optimally through their sense of hearing and speech. They enjoy listening, speaking, acting out, sounds, rhythm and music.

A kinaesthetic learner learns optimally through movement. They enjoy making things with their hands, touching and moving around. They also enjoy acting out. Body motion is key.

At Love2Learn, we recognise that in every family no two children are alike. In a home-schooling context, this often means that the approach one used with the elder child does not always work with the younger! In a family of three children, there may be one Kinaesthetic Learner, one Visual Learner and one Auditory Learner. Love2Learn Home-schooling Curriculum has tailored the programme to accommodate all three learning modalities all at the same time! There is no need to purchase three separate curricula.

Love2Learn & Kinaesthetic Learners

A Kinaesthetic learner would prefer to make a volcano rather than learn about one out of a book. Love2Learn Curriculum ensures that every day, Kinaesthetic learners, especially in the primary school years, are offered hands-on activities which are relevant, fun, simple to do and which tie in directly with the topic being studied.

These activities are simple to complete and are often introduced via step-by-step, full- colour photographs that make “doing” a pleasure! A number of science experiments are prescribed right from Grade 0. In the earlier grades most of the apparatus required is found in the average home. Later on the necessary science equipment is provided by Love2Learn if desired. Hands-on activities are incorporated into subjects such as History, Geography, Botany and
Zoology, Technology, Bible, Science, Human Anatomy, Microbiology, Ecology, Music, Practical Art, Computers and more.

Love2Learn & Visual Learners

Visual learners enjoy the beautifully illustrated and photograph-rich full colour living books. Computer software is also supplied as an additional resource for a number of subjects. This software is visually very engaging. However, it is sometimes not enough for a visual learner to interact with a vibrant, full colour picture.

They want the picture to MOVE!

Video Footage and Virtual Tours: Movies and video clips in our Internet Enrichment Programme capture the imagination of these learners. For example, if they are learning about Volcanoes, they will watch a Volcanic Eruption on the Internet. If they are learning about Phases of Matter in physics, they watch an animated movie which visually demonstrates how a solid changes to a liquid and then to a gas, at a molecular level.

Love2Learn & Auditory Learners

Auditory Learners are captivated by the numerous discussions and read-aloud sections every day. They too respond very well to the auditory component of our Internet Enrichment Programme. For example, if they are learning about World War One, they will listen to an original audio interview with a World War One Nurse who worked on the field, or a soldier’s experiences in the trenches.

Let the wise listen, and add to their learning. Proverbs 1:5

You did not choose me, but I chose and appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last. John 15:16

Love2Learn - Making learning come alive! Children love to act out the part. History comes alive to them when they live it and say it! In addition to this, the concept of oral narration is employed daily. This offers children the opportunity to verbalise their learning and hear themselves saying it!
