Product Description

Looking for ways to differentiate your instruction to meet the needs of gifted visual-spatial learners? You’ve found it in Visual-Spatial Learners: Differentiation Strategies for Creating a Successful Classroom. Visual-spatial learners are students who show advanced abilities with computers, maps, construction toys, and puzzles. These students think outside the box and demonstrate tremendous empathy and compassion. Too often, traditional classroom teaching strategies do not meet the needs of these students. By incorporating visual-spatial strategies to help students learn, you can more effectively reach every student. The techniques outlined within these pages help all learners succeed—regardless of their preferred learning style.

The author provides a number of strategies to help make your classroom a successful learning environment for all learners. These strategies address preparing students to succeed on timed tests; easing the pain of handwriting; teaching spelling using imagery; incorporating mnemonics, rhyme, and other tricks that engage the right-hemisphere of the brain; helping students stay focused and on-track; getting—and keeping—students organized; and much more!

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical advice for managing this learning style, October 14, 2008
By Kim (Florida) - See all my reviews
Although I am a parent, not an educator, I found this book extremely relevant and helpful. I have a 9-year-old daughter who is a visual-spacial learner, and we have been struggling with things like timed tests and spelling for several years. I found this book to be a big help in dealing with spelling, timed math fact tests, handwriting, and also in social studies/geography. Using these visualization techniques, we have already seen marked improvements in spelling. Even my other child, who does very well at school, was able to incorporate the visualization techniques to boost results in her studies.

5.0 out of 5 stars help for parents and teachers of right-brain dominant kids, November 25, 2008
By P. Hare (Columbia, SC) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have a right-brain dominant school-aged child. She did fine in school until grade 3 when the big push for state-wide testing began. No more hands-on learning! No more abundance of visual aids! Now it was time to memorize data for the higher test scores the district was looking for. And learning was no longer fun but a frustration for my daughter. A little research helped me understand that her "problem" was that she was a visual-spatial learner, not an auditory-sequential learner--the type of learner public schools are designed to teach.

There are a number of good resources for better understanding visual-spatial learners and I have looked at many of them. Visual-Spatial Learners has recently come out and is one of the best tools for supporting your child if he or she is this type of learner. I purchased a number of copies to give to my daughter's teachers. I believe it has helped in their understanding of why she sometimes just doesn't "get it" in the classroom. The book has a number of illustrations that show with clarity and humor what the author is talking about--a plus for visual-spatial parents and teachers!

5.0 out of 5 stars Insight, October 14, 2008
I was growing increasingly frustrated with my son's academic performance. I knew he was a spatial learner but I didn't know he was soooo visual. Once I began to implement some of the suggested techniques; staircases for spelling words, and using a piece of silly putty to keep his right brain active, I saw instant improvement. This book has given me unlimited insight. A million thanks:-).

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
After reading the first pages of this book, I was expecting strategies to help my highly visual-spatial child but found most of the methods to be verbal-language based. Read more
