Ben, could you give us the link to that inventory? Sounds like something I’d like to try soon.
thanks.
Indeed, it sounds fantastic, and I think it could help my sixth graders all the way around.
Are babies visual or tactile language learners?
That’s another category – they are etheric learners. They learn celestially.
Yes, celestially. I agree. but following the line of “language learning is auditory, not academic” how much credence do we give to the whole auditory, tactile, visual stuff? I don’t mean to challenge the foundation of multiple intelligences. But if a kid (or kid’s parent) says, “my kid is a visual learner, they have to write it down”, where’s the line between, “Yes, I validate that” and “I’m sorry, this class is primarily auditory, your daughter/son didn’t read their first language until they were 5, 6, 7 years old, etc”
I’d say that your line would be in accomodating specific learning styles for specific people. Remember that learning styles should be more properly labeled “dominant learning styles” because we all learn with each of the styles to some degree. Brain research in fact notes that things get better encoded for memory the more different types of senses are activated. When we act out a story, which learning style is dominant? Auditory? Kinesthetic? Visual? It depends on the learner; they’re all getting different things out of it, but it is the complementary nature of the methods that really makes it work. We need to keep varying it up between the styles anyways to provide richer encoding and hold interest.
So for that student who has to have things written down, great. Give them a print out of the extended reading so they can work from that. I allow notes in my room as long as the default position of the book is closed and it is open for no longer than two minutes at a stretch. I have only 2 people on average take me up on this at any given time, so I see that as valuable for them but not for others.
I’m checking authorship and copyright and doing all I can to find where it comes from before I put it up here as public domain. I think it is at least 20 years old. Trust me, if it has stayed with me for all these years, it’s good stuff. Give me a few more days on this.
Just found this one on line–it’s short, but might be helpful until Ben finds his.

It’s also one of the only tests on line that doesn’t require personal identification!
