HOW TO KNOW A CHILD'S BASIC LEARNING TYPE (BLT).

Finding out a child's basic learning type is relatively easy. One of the most common methods is to have the child in a comfortable and relaxed mood.
Next give him/her an interesting but short story to read ( not audibly); before then let the child know that you are going to have him/her narrate the story to you with as much details as possible, after about six(6) hours. The story line should be between 450 and 500 words.
When the time comes, re-read the story yourself (to refresh your memory) and have the child retell it.
Take note of the details.
Next, after about 24 hours, get another short story of the same length, but this time around, READ out the story clearly to the child (once) and after about six (6) hours, call the child and have him/her retell the story.
Again, take note of the details.
(Note: The child should go about his/her normal activities before being called to retell the stories.)
After two repetitions, a clearer picture would emerge that would indicate which of the two methods better suits the child's ability to assimilate, retain and reproduce/recollect information; this method invariably determines his/her basic learning type (BLT) and could also be applied in the case of an adult.
The principal thing is to try to ascertain the more affective of the two methods of gathering information. In most cases, it is easier to determine a person's basic learning type, but there are instances, though far between, where it is difficult to arrive at a clear notion of what the basic learning type is; these rare cases are rated as 50-50 and they are regarded as having equal assimilatory potentials.
Persons with this type find it relatively easy to adapt to any learning environment, and would do extremely well if nurtured and given a good direction.
