Learning Styles

Sight: Find an activity book that allows kids to point out things that are out of place. Praise them for being so good at spying out the silly mistakes.
Sound: After you read A Place for Everything, give your children a chance to talk about it for as long as they want to. Ask them which parts they liked the best, which parts didn't make sense, which parts they want to hear again. Be sure to listen carefully to everything they tell you.
Touch: Ask your children if they want to be Silly Spies. Wander through the house looking for items that are out of place. (Is a sweatshirt in the living room, are there legos on the kitchen table?) As you put things in their proper place, imagine together using the items wrong way. (Should we sit on the sweatshirt, should we eat the legos?)
