Let's look at how we learn to read. From the day we are born, we begin to learn. Some even believe the learning begins earlier, in the womb. So, what is it that causes us to learn? Is it a cause? Or does it just happen? Let look at some possibilities.
Most brain experts consider learning to take place though the senses. That is, our hearing, eyesight, taste, smell, touch and muscle movement. This “learning process” works somewhat like that of a computer. Through these avenues information is brought into the “processor”, sorted, and filed in the memory banks depending on its classification.
When we talk of learning styles, it refers to our “preferred” mode of taking in information. For instance, Joey likes to try things out, take them apart to see how they work. We call this a “hands-on” style. He physically manipulates the information, processes it and stores the newly acquired info. The next time he comes across information related in any way to that experience, the information is pulled up.
