Children’s ways of learning are as different as the colors of the rainbow. Some grasp information best by reading, while others learn better through listening or discovering concepts through hands on experience. Traditionally, the concern of teachers and educators was on assessing what children learn instead of focusing how they learn which gives the child a comprehensive approach to teaching and learning. A learning style diagnosis is the key to an understanding of student learning.
