I've read lots of books on the different learning styles,
but the best one that I have found is called "A Self-Portrait Learning
Style System" by Victoria Kindle-Hodson and Mariaemma Pelullo-Willis,
M.S. and published by Reflective Educational Perspectives.
"The authors observe, along with others in the field,
that people learn and develop best when their individual learning patterns,
skills, and talents are recognized. These facts can be used as a basis
for goal setting, guidance, and instruction. The materials included in
[this program] involve people in their own learning processes through self-assessment
and goal setting, foster acceptance and appreciation for individual differences
and talents, and encourage cooperation and sharing of skills. It is possible
to structure successful learning and working situations, to create harmony
and satisfaction in life, and to develop to full potential when we know
ourselves well."
Along with the Self-Portrait assessments, they have a
book entitled "What To Do When They Don't Get It: A Guide To Great Teaching
Techniques." This book includes techniques in Visualization, Mapping,
and Writing.

When it comes
to Catholic Home Education, one of the best books on the market is "Designing
Your Own Classical Curriculum- A Guide to Catholic Home Education" by
Laura M. Berquist. The book is published by Bethlehem Books and is an absolute
treasure.
Kimberly Hahn - Co-Author of "Catholic Education -
Homeward Bound" (another really great book) says the following about
Mrs. Berquist's book:
"Designing Your Own Classical Curriculum bridges
the gap between a desire for a classical education for our children and
the reality of a subject by subject, grade by grade curricula that is thorough.
It has been an immense help to me."
Vicky Peters-Director of So.CA Catholic Home Educators
Support Group adds:
"This is classical education from a Catholic perspective
- the answer to years of searching for the experienced home educator, and
the perfect tool for those just beginning."
