Teaching a Visual Learner



Do you have a visual learner? Do you ever wonder how you can teach a visual learner? Well today I am going to show you one idea that can be modified for any child. With all the technology out today most homes have a camera phone, iPad or tablet with a camera. Why not record whatever you want to teach your visual learner. My son loves to raise and eat early. So I decided to record for him how to make some of his favorite breakfast cereals in the microwave. He owns an iPad so after I record the videos I send it to his device. This is a great way for him to learn life skills. So pull out those cameras and get to recording.

They Said He Could Not Learn


This is my middle son Malik he had suffered from many learning challenges in public school. Not being able to read has really hindered his learning. They labelled him everything but a learner. So I pulled him out and decided to home educate him. My baby is making great progress. I gave him an assessment and he can read over 120 words now.  They said he would never write or read in cursive well he can. They said he could only do single digit addition well he is doing double digit and some multiplication. He can also comprehend and has good expressive language. God is really doing great things in his life. 

Assistive technology we use in our classroom.
