1) Visual Communication - learn by observation, recall what they have seen, can follow written or drawn instruction, likes to read, uses written notes, benefits by visualizing, watching TV/video/films
2) Auditory Communication - prefers listening and taking notes, listens for patterns, can recall what they have heard, can follow oral directions, repeats words aloud for memorization, uses oral language effectively
3) Kinesthetic Communication - learn through experience and physical activity, benefits from demostration, learn from teaching others what they know
I can reach parents by using all 3 of these communication types. Parents that are visual will benefit from newsletters, bulletin boards, handouts, t-shirts and hats, student mailboxes and scrapbooks. Parents that are auditory will benefit from face to face communication, oral directions, hearing stories outloud, listening to tapes or CDs or by group discussion. Parents that are kinesthetic will benefit from playing games, reading body language/gestures, discussion while moving or yelling at you while your driving away. (I had to throw that one in).
