Find out the young child's learning style. There are many tests available to help you with this determination, including the "Test Your Knowledge: Find Your Child's Learning Style" questionnaire available through Scholastic.
Use physical sensations in a lesson and more active learning to help teach a kinesthetic learner. Integrate things like hands-on lessons, experiments and projects. For example, instead of explaining the different types of rocks, take the child outside for a scavenger hunt to find them.
Incorporate more visual aids when integrating a visual learner's learning style. Things like charts, diagrams, pictures, board games and videos can all be helpful to help the child learn.
Add more sounds to lessons for auditory learners. Reading out loud or playing books on tape can help an auditory leaner retain information. Music can also be used to integrate an auditory learning style into a lesson.
Put more science, technology and computers into lessons for logical learners. Strategy games, puzzles, taking things apart, building with blocks and experimenting are all things that can help logical learners.
