Hi John - good idea! The more we can make our students feel a part of the learning process-the better they will learn.

Hi Richard - thanks for your posting! Even though you are a new teacher you are obviously on the right track. Don't worry about using all the styldes all the time, just be sure to mix it up. Best wishes for continued success!

Hi Caroline- You have perfectly summed up the advantages of teaching to the learning styles! One other advantage is for the teacher - it makes teaching the same material over and over much more interesting when you are regularly refreshing your technique.
