Have you started thinking about your curriculum options for next year?

One important factor in choosing curriculum for your child is your child's learning style.  Is your child primarily a visual learner?  More of an auditory learner?  Or does he/she learn best doing hands-on activities?  The links below will help you determine your child's learning styles:

How can I find my child's learning style?

Learning Styles Chart

You can find additional articles, books, and resources on ChoosyHomeschooler's PURLs of Wisdom - Determining Your Child's Learning Style.

Once you are more aware of the most effective style of learning for your child, you can find curriculum products and reviews on the ChoosyHomeschooler website - tagged according to the primary learning style used.

For more information on searching our site by using tags, check out Elise's article Using Tags to Quickly Locate "Best Fit" Products and Reviews.

Be sure to check out our other PURLs of Wisdom to help with curriculum choices:
