I think it's a great idea. You will get to know your child's - learning style. The fact is that not

all kids learn at the same rate or the same way.

There are three basic ones, visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. I have two kids who were highly visual learners. My youngest I thought was auditory but I’m now convinced she’s more kinesthetic. When she was taking Russian in college, she would grab a big white board and a bunch of colored dry erase markers and sit there and conjugate her verbs, and nouns, and for calc, she would write out her derivatives, all in various colored markers.She aced tests when she studied that way.

I remember once when she was little I showed her the word *comb* and she kept saying,*I don’t know. I don’t know.* So on a whim I spelled it for her, and she says *Oh, comb.*

Auditory I don’t get at all, but I adjusted her class work to fit with her learning style and she excelled.

Talk to other moms and read, read, read. Read to the kid, read with the kid, let the kid read. Go outside and find bugs. Google them, look at their wings, find their hearts in diagrams. Kids just love nature - bugs, rocks, yeast in water, etc. Get a 10x microscope. Do m/s stuff together and have the student write it up. Make sure they learn math like you learned it when it was taught correctly. Lots and lots of field trips, time outdoors. Feed their mind - they are so excited about the world at a young age. Learn how to use maps.

Good luck!
